This story tonight concerns breast implants. | |
| Some are against them, others believe they're fine in rare cases, and many believe you should be able to get them whenever the f*** you want. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sorry, did I say breast implants? | |
| I meant abortions. | ||
| Tonight's main topic concerns abortion. | ||
| So tonight, in honor of America, I'd like to do a salute to abortion in the break 10th annual Salute to Abortion! | ||
| Get out of my... | ||
| It's a woman's body and she should not be forced to carry anything inside of it. | ||
| It wouldn't make her keep a tapeworm. | ||
| That has a heartbeat. | ||
| So you're comparing a baby to a tapeworm? | ||
| A fetus is a parasite, sweetie. | ||
| That is not what a fetus looks like, okay? | ||
| It's a hook of cells at 12 weeks. | ||
| You think that it is the white man's duty to fix everybody's problems, right? | ||
| How many did you adopt? | ||
| How many did I adopt? | ||
| I kill my kids. | ||
| Well, that's what you do to babies, huh? | ||
| Yeah, I love it. | ||
| You love it, huh? | ||
| Yeah, I do. | ||
| Okay. I hope that you come to Christ, sir. | ||
| Oh, I never go to Christ. | ||
| I hope that you come to Christ, sir. | ||
| No, I don't go to Christ. | ||
| Fertilized egg is a human being! | ||
| Yeah. Fertilized egg is a human being! | ||
| You're a pig. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because I don't want to come babies. | |
| Oh, you kill them. | ||
| You let them live so they can starve to death. | ||
| That's our child. | ||
| There's a lump of cells that is yet to be born. | ||
| You've got Amazing Grace being sung. | ||
| I don't know if AM radio picks it up, but they're saying, Hail Satan. | ||
| And the news confirmed. | ||
| That's what they're saying. | ||
| There she is. | ||
| Hail Satan. | ||
| sticks her tongue out. | ||
| We're tonight. | ||
| We're not turning fingers at these kids. | ||
| We say not. | ||
| We are the men. | ||
| Sarah, Jesus Christ. | ||
| But fertilized eggs aren't people. | ||
| People are people. | ||
| Thank you! | ||
| You're a piece of f***ing s***! | ||
| Go home! | ||
| Pick up your s***! | ||
| We don't need that bulls*** here! | ||
| We do not! | ||
| We already have enough going on! | ||
| I'm a f***ing woman of this world! | ||
| We're women of this world! | ||
| You have no place to say goddamn f***ing about nothing! | ||
| Go the f***ing home! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Go the f***ing home! | |
| You're f***ing murdered down the street, ma'am! | ||
| Whatever! I don't get it! | ||
| I need to speak up for them! | ||
| Come the f*** out of here! | ||
| F***ing s***! | ||
| And get that camera out of my face! | ||
| Go home! | ||
| I'm dead! | ||
| F*** you! | ||
| Why'd you spit at us? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't agree with you. | |
| No uterus, no right to talk about it. | ||
| So a birth is more expensive than an abortion. | ||
| So the savings comes in Medicaid births that will not occur. | ||
| This bill will actually decrease costs for our health care policy and financing department, our Medicaid expenditures, in both this year and out year. | ||
| Out years as the savings from averted births outweigh the cost of covering reproductive health care. | ||
| Ultimately, it is truly an honor to be here carrying this bill alongside Rep. | ||
| Garcia, and I ask for your support of Senate Bill 183. | ||
| In the ninth month, you can take the baby and rip the baby out of the womb of the mother just prior to the birth of the baby. | ||
| Now, you can say that that's okay. | ||
| And Hillary can say that that's okay, but it's not okay with me. | ||
| Well, that is not what happens in these cases, and using that kind of scare rhetoric is just terribly unfortunate. | ||
|
unidentified
|
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo lit up the One World Trade Center's spire in pink to celebrate his radical expansion of abortion in New York. | |
| State lawmakers approved a law permitting abortion in the state for any reason until the 24th week of pregnancy and then up until birth. | ||
| If a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen. | ||
| The infant would be delivered. | ||
| The infant would be kept comfortable. | ||
| The infant would be resuscitated if that's what the mother and the family desired. | ||
| And then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There was a question over here. | |
| Yes. Are you for third trimester abortions? | ||
| My answer to you is that that should be a decision that the woman makes. | ||
| There's scientific consensus that the lives of children are going to be very difficult. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is it okay to still have children? | |
| How do you justify the decision to allow Planned Parenthood to rent in this city for free? | ||
| That's your time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Next speaker. | |
| There's a new video out on InfoWars.com of two partial birth abortion, eight and a half month old babies. | ||
| And, uh... | ||
| And it makes you want to kill people. | ||
| I'm going to just be honest with you right now. | ||
| My guts, my spirit sees a baby who got killed and its brain sucked out. | ||
| It's Friday, March 28th in the year of our Lord, 2025. | ||
| And you're listening to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | ||
| Watch it live right now at band.video. | ||
| I think it's time to blow this thing. | ||
| Get everybody in the stuff together. | ||
| Okay, three, two, one. | ||
| Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Welcome to the American Journal. | |
| I'm your host, Harrison Smith, coming to you live this morning from the InfoWars headquarters in Austin, Texas. | ||
| I got a lot of videos to show you, lots of stories to go to. | ||
| I got to open up the phone lines today. | ||
| I haven't opened up the phone lines all week, so I intend to make up for that here today. | ||
| But we do have just so many videos. | ||
| To show you, to talk about Elon Musk and the Doge team. | ||
| Did their first group interview yesterday. | ||
| And we learned some very interesting and frankly disturbing stuff. | ||
| The video that you were just watching in that first five minutes is from InfoWars. | ||
| You can find it at InfoWars.com and Band.video. | ||
| And of course you can share it on Alex Jones' Twitter at RealAlexJones. | ||
| We have a heck of a lot to talk about. | ||
| There's the post from Alex, breaking video, Democrat leaders publicly endorse human sacrifice. | ||
| And just as a little observation, I was trying to think of a single instance of a conservative person screeching like a banshee at a protest. | ||
| I don't think there is one. | ||
| And there's something in particular about the abortion protesters. | ||
| They literally shriek like demons. | ||
| They flip out and just start screaming and wailing and gnashing their teeth. | ||
| And it's a particular expression of a particular emotion that only seems to exist on the left. | ||
| And you can't even really imagine... | ||
| That audio's up, guys. | ||
| You really can't imagine a conservative... | ||
| Freaking out like that. | ||
| I don't know what it is, but I think it speaks to, well, some sort of deep-seated corruption in their spirit, I guess. | ||
| But it's pretty shocking when you see them one after another. | ||
| Again, we have a lot of videos to go to. | ||
| I plan to get to as many as possible. | ||
| But I do want to take your phone calls today as well. | ||
| But we'll begin today as we do every day with our daily dispatch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
*Sounds of phone rings* | |
| Here it is, folks, your daily dispatch for Friday, the 28th of March, 2025. | ||
| Putin seeks UN government for Ukraine won't sign peace plan with Kiev's illegitimate government. | ||
| Back in December, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that there was but one requirement he had for negotiating peace with Ukraine, that Kiev hold an election for their dictator, Vladimir Zelensky. | ||
| Perhaps the straw that broke the camel's back, however, or in this case the straw that broke Putin's peace plan, took place on Wednesday when Ukraine's dictator boldly stated that Putin will soon die. | ||
| So yeah, not the best negotiation tactic, I guess. | ||
| On Thursday night, Russian President Putin declared that he cannot sign a peace plan with Ukraine's illegitimate government, citing a lack of trust in Kiev's current leadership. | ||
| He proposed that it be replaced by a temporary government administered by the United Nations. | ||
| The United States and European nations. | ||
| Putin said Moscow will negotiate peace with this new government, which is a pretty interesting tactic, but clearly putting the blame for the continuing war squarely on the shoulders of Zelensky and his refusal to engage in good faith in any talks with the prospect of peace. | ||
| Meanwhile, and we'll revisit this story from a number of different angles, but... | ||
| It made headlines with this. | ||
| White House gets in on a Ghibli meme frenzy with image of arrested illegal alien fentanyl dealer. | ||
| So Studio Ghibli, anime, movie, studio with a very distinct style. | ||
| People have been uploading pictures into ChatGPT and having them turn them into Studio Ghibli illustrations. | ||
| The White House got in on this, posting a picture of the sobbing illegal alien fentanyl dealer's arrest. | ||
| Animated in the iconic style of Japanese animated film Studio Ghibli. | ||
| People were very upset about this. | ||
| Saying, it's okay to deport them, but why be so cruel? | ||
| Why mock them? | ||
| And it's like, well, because she's a fentanyl dealer that looks like a goblin. | ||
| She's a fentanyl dealer that looks like she hides under children's bed at night. | ||
| So, yeah, we're going to make fun of her. | ||
| Plus, she's crying. | ||
| So, that's even funnier. | ||
| Yeah, get over it. | ||
| It's funny. | ||
| Again, the left can't meme. | ||
| Meanwhile, they're, you know, mocking the fact that the governor of Texas was paralyzed from the waist down as an adult in a tragic accident, calling him Hot Wheels. | ||
| Just a quick reminder for you, a quick little daily reminder not to take their outrage seriously. | ||
| They're terrible people with hearts of coal, so ignore them, mock them. | ||
| As Sun Tzu once said, make memes until they cry and then make memes about them crying. | ||
| That's the way we win. | ||
| Meanwhile, massive earthquake in Myanmar. | ||
| Death toll expected to rise over 100 at this point. | ||
| I actually have the videos coming out of this are absolutely crazy with these giant skyscrapers rocking back and forth, cranes collapsing. | ||
| If you want to go to my... | ||
| Computer screen, you can see it. | ||
| One of the buildings in particular had a rooftop pool, and you can see the water sloshing over the side, but just entire buildings waving back and forth, cranes collapsing, 100 people dead so far, massive quake in and around Myanmar and parts of China, with the death toll again expected to rise, but some pretty crazy imagery coming out from that. | ||
| Meanwhile, Trump has issued an order to eliminate anti-American ideology from the Smithsonian, which is pretty interesting. | ||
| This is a part of the push to drive out DEI from government programs, trying to get rid of the anti-American ideology at the Smithsonian. | ||
| It seems like the premier museum of America there to document and catalog American history should probably not hate America. | ||
| I think that's a good idea. | ||
| But again, you know, it's like, I like most of what Trump's doing, but it doesn't go far enough. | ||
| Release the Nephilim bones, Trump. | ||
| Release the giant bones hidden in the Smithsonian. | ||
| We know they have them. | ||
| That would be something Trump could really hang his hat on. | ||
| Release the secret files of the Smithsonian that show that races of giants once lived on this continent. | ||
| Reveal Tartaria, Trump, and you'll go down in history. | ||
| Finally, we have this. | ||
| Elon Musk and Doge team reveal nearly half of Social Security calls are from fraudsters stealing Social Security benefits. | ||
| So 40% of the calls to Social Security of people wanting their benefits to be sent to a different bank account or change of address, 40% of those calls are from fraudsters attempting to just steal somebody's retirement benefits and have it rerouted into their bank account instead. | ||
| Showing just another layer of the just immense amount of fraud being stolen from Americans on a daily basis. | ||
| There was a stat published yesterday that Indian scam calls steal something like $25 billion a year from America. | ||
| Some just astronomically gigantic number that's stolen from these You know, fraudulent calls. | ||
| And it's only going to get worse with AI being implemented, being able to spook voices, and all sorts of horrifying advancements in criminality. | ||
| So that's your Daily Dispatch, brought to you, of course, by TheAlexJonesStore.com. | ||

| I didn't know the Methyl and Blue had been released. | ||
| Yeah, we have our own Methyl and Blue now. | ||
| Ultra Methyl and Blue. | ||
| It's got a mint flavor. | ||
| So if you've ever used Methyl and Blue, which I've used it, it can taste not great. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Are you on it right now? | |
| Are you on it right now? | ||
| I am on it right now. | ||
| I literally took some... | ||
| About three minutes before coming on air. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I knew it. | |
| You can tell, can't you? | ||
| In my glowing blue. | ||
| It's incredibly powerful stuff. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I mean, it's been around for like a hundred plus years. | ||
| It was the first like synthetically created supplement ever. | ||
| Basically, they used it to cure diseases. | ||
| The history is fascinating. | ||
| I don't really know it too well off the top of my head. | ||
| But you should look into it. | ||
| Methylene blue. | ||
| It has a very interesting history. | ||
| And for some reason, despite being around for hundreds of years. | ||
| Like, in the last three months, everybody's using it. | ||
| And so we're hopping on the trend. | ||
| I mean, I've discovered it, and then RFK Jr. has seen spraying methylene blue in a cup on an airplane. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Who do you think discovered it first? | |
| Who did? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was you, I think, right? | |
| I'm pretty sure I did. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He was following your trend. | |
| He was, yes. | ||
| I have it on good authority from Matt just now that it was RFK Jr. inspired by me to take methylene blue. | ||
| Methyl blue can have a weird taste if it doesn't have a flavor. | ||
| Ours has a mint flavor, so it actually is delicious as well as as powerful as any methylene blue out there. | ||
| And it will turn your teeth blue. | ||
| It will turn your teeth blue. | ||
| So just make sure you drink it like you drink red wine at a fancy party when you don't want your teeth stained purple. | ||
| And then you'll be pretty good. | ||
| So methylene blue now on sale at thealexjonesstore.com. | ||
| So if you're looking for a great source for it. | ||
| We have it. | ||
| TheAlexJonesStore.com. | ||
| Methylenblue. TheAlexJonesStore.com slash Harrison to let them know who sent you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And we do want to try it for yourself. | |
| We do want to. | ||
| I thought this was going to be launched with the Alex Jones show today. | ||
| But I also can deliver a couple of remarks. | ||
| Because Methylenblue, you know, there is a variance of quality out on the market. | ||
| We do have super, super rigorously tested. | ||
| Quality Methylene Blue. | ||
| Mike Adams took a look at it and said, yeah, this is definitely what you want to go with. | ||
| And that's a great thing because it was probably about three months ago that I started looking for Methylene Blue. | ||
| And it's hard to tell. | ||
| I mean, there's a lot of different brands. | ||
| And I had to look for a while before I found a brand that I really trusted. | ||
| And I was sort of wishing that there was a source that I knew and trusted and could go to. | ||
| And now there is, the AlexJonesStore.com. | ||
| So yeah, it's a very good point. | ||
| There is varying quality. | ||
| Ours is the best in the market. | ||
|
unidentified
|
USP grade. | |
| There you go. | ||
| Yeah, USP grade. | ||
| It's got that fresh mint flavor, ultra clean formula, high purity standard, and third party verified. | ||
| Just like a lot of our stuff is. | ||
| Plus, you're getting it for 35% off right now. | ||
| You can get it for an additional discount. | ||
| I think 50% off total if you set up. | ||
| A reoccurring delivery, monthly delivery. | ||
| You can save 50%. | ||
| You can get three bottles and save even more. | ||
| And, of course, VIP members save even more than that. | ||
| So get your methylene blue in the highest possible quality from a source that you trust on massive discount now at thealexjonesstore.com slash Harrison. | ||
| And I endorse methylene blue personally. | ||
| I like it. | ||
| I take it pretty much every day. | ||
| I try not to overdo it, though. | ||
| Because it just feels powerful. | ||
| It feels powerful, and so I tend to not take it on the weekends just to give my body a break. | ||
| But it's great stuff, and I take it every day. | ||
| Let's go out to some of these videos, because Elon Musk and the Doge team did an interview. | ||
| It's been getting a lot of praise, and I agree. | ||
| Well, Twitter is a great source of this. | ||
| There's just so much news that is constantly pouring in. | ||
| That it can all get sort of lost in the mix. | ||
| Just a little bit too chaotic to keep track of what's actually going on. | ||
| So I think it's good. | ||
| Maybe like once a month, once a quarter, something like that, coming out and giving an update as to what Doge is doing, the successes that it has had, and just explaining to the American people what the point is of all these cuts that they're engaged in. | ||
| Sell it to the American people. | ||
| I think this is a great idea. | ||
| Let's go first to clip number 12 here. | ||
| Because this is an important point about the judges that have been obstructing Doge's activity in the federal government. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
| Are you surprised at some of the legal efforts and some of the judges that have weighed in? | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's about eight or ten now of these cases that are at least temporary holds. | |
| They're being challenged by the DOJ. | ||
| Are you surprised by that pushback? | ||
| Well, the DC circuit is notorious for having a very far-left bias. | ||
| And when you look at the people close to some of these judges, where are they working? | ||
| Oh, they're working at these NGOs. | ||
| Oh, they're the ones getting this money. | ||
| Does that seem like a system that lacks corruption? | ||
| It sounds like corruption to me. | ||
| Whether or not it amounts to corruption, it certainly is a conflict of interest. | ||
| And out of an overabundance of caution, I would suggest that the judges recuse themselves. | ||
| But there's also a weird phenomenon that's taking place where the same judges constantly get every Trump case. | ||
| Constantly. Boasberg, somehow, out of this random selection process, somehow Boasberg, the same judge. | ||
| Thank you, Matt. | ||
| Disembodied hand coming in. | ||
| Judge Boasberg, the same judge. | ||
| Putting a halt to the Trendy Aragua flights apparently and, you know, randomly got the case about the signal gate leaks as well. | ||
| And Judge Boesberg has now issued an order for Trump and his team to preserve all of their communications because apparently they're launching investigations into this. | ||
| The scandal gate, you know, accidental misdirected text is... | ||
| Being given more media attention than both Trump assassinations combined, it's not actually that big of a deal, but it's the first thing they have that they can sort of run with in the entirety of Trump's second administration. | ||
| They've been flailing and incompetent and unable to really prevent anything that he's doing. | ||
| Someone on his team makes a mistake, apparently, and the Democrats are doing everything they can to. | ||
| Make hay out of this. | ||
| So I don't know what they're doing exactly, but it's just a pure coincidence, pure happenstance that it's the exact same judge that happens to get that case as well. | ||
| And as we went through earlier in this week, like a third of all judges in that district are foreign-born, and the vast majority of them had no experience as judges whatsoever, were all leftist activists just appointed to these roles for this exact reason. | ||
| So yeah, it's a big problem and we've got to do something about it. | ||
| And there he's pointing out the fact that almost all these judges have family members with NGOs that receive immense amounts of money from the taxpayer through these programs that they are now compelling the Trump administration to continue to fund total corruption. | ||
| Replete throughout our federal system. | ||
| Let's go now to clip number 19, Elon Musk. | ||
| Reacts to being called a traitor. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know, a lot is coming your way, but sometimes you say stuff or post stuff that gets attention. | |
| You give it out, in other words. | ||
| Democratic Arizona Senator Mark Kelly posted on X about his trip to Ukraine to push for continuing to send U.S. weapons and support there, and you posted that he was a traitor. | ||
| Why do that? | ||
| Well, I think somebody should care about the interests of the United States above the interests of another country. | ||
| And if they don't, they're a traitor. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But he's a decorated veteran, a former astronaut, a sitting U.S. senator. | |
| That doesn't mean it's okay for him to put the interests of another country above America. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Obviously, there are some Republicans who think supporting Ukraine is the right thing still, but there is a battle back and forth about how do you think it comes to an end? | |
| Well, I think there will be a negotiated peace, and the thing that we should be concerned about is we should have empathy for the thousands of people that are dying every day in trenches for no movement in the lines. | ||
| So the borders remain the same. | ||
| For the past two years, thousands of people have died every week for nothing. | ||
| For what? | ||
| And I take great offense at those who put the appearance of goodness over the reality of it. | ||
| Those who virtue signal and say, oh, we can't give in to Russia, but have no solution. | ||
| To stopping thousands of kids dying every day. | ||
| They just want that to continue forever. | ||
| I have contempt for such people. | ||
| I don't want to make that clear. | ||
| Because their virtue signaling and their lack of a solution means that kids don't have a father. | ||
| It means that parents lost a son. | ||
| For what? | ||
| Nothing. Yeah, very powerful stuff from Elon Musk. | ||
| We all have our suspicions about Elon Musk, obviously. | ||
| He's involved in a lot of stuff that is contrary to our view of the future. | ||
| However, you hear him say stuff like that, and I have to hold out hope. | ||
| And as I've said before, is it really so unbelievable? | ||
| And it's just the way I think about it. | ||
| Like me, might be in that position. | ||
| That if I was in that position, I think I would be doing the best I could to actually rescue America from the clutches of this tyranny. | ||
| And is it so impossible that there might be somebody else out there with the same mindset named Elon Musk? | ||
| I choose to believe it's not totally impossible for that to be the case. | ||
| Let's go now to clip number 22. This is another comment from another Doge engineer. | ||
| In that same interview, talking about the IRS and just the absurdity of that entire situation. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You've got overstaffing. | |
| A good example of overstaffing would be the IRS has got 1,400 people who are dedicated to provisioning laptops and cell phones. | ||
| So if you join the IRS, you get a laptop and a cell phone, you're provisioned. | ||
| So if each of those IRS officers or employees provisioned two employees per day. | ||
| You could provision the entire IRS in a little more than a month. | ||
| So 12 times a year, you can reprovision. | ||
| Why would you have 1,400 people whose only job it is to give out a laptop and a phone? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. The whole IRS could be handled once a month. | |
| So that doesn't make any sense. | ||
| That doesn't make any sense. | ||
| No, it doesn't at all. | ||
| But it's the government. | ||
| Things don't have to make sense. | ||
| In the market, you would actually have to justify people's employment. | ||
| In the government, you don't. | ||
| So that's how you end up with this. | ||
| Now we'll go to this final clip from this interview, clip number 21. This is the sort of big bombshell headline takeaway about fraud at the Social Security Bureau. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'll say the two improvements that we're trying to make to Social Security are... | |
| Helping people that legitimately get benefits protect them from fraud that they experience every day on a routine basis and also make the experience better. | ||
| And I'll give you one example. | ||
| At Social Security, one of the first things we learned is that they get phone calls every day of people trying to change direct deposit information. | ||
| So when you want to change your bank account, you can call Social Security. | ||
| We learned 40% of the phone calls that they get are from fraudsters. | ||
| 40%? | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Almost half. | ||
| Yes, and they steal people's social security, is what happens. | ||
| They call in, they say they claim to be a retiree, and they convince the social security person on the phone to change where the money's flowing. | ||
| It actually goes to some fraudster. | ||
| This is happening all day, every day. | ||
| And then somebody doesn't receive their social security, it's because... | ||
| 40% of all calls into Social Security. | ||
| And, you know, it can't be that difficult if you're a hacker or a fraudster, a scam artist. | ||
| If you, you know, pay some data broker who has hacked material from the Social Security network as it has been hacked, all you need is, like, Social Security number. | ||
| Bank account number, first and last name. | ||
| And, you know, it could be a month. | ||
| It could be several months before the person realizes that the money's not going into their bank account. | ||
| They have to then call Social Security and have to figure it out. | ||
| You just can't imagine how much money is wasted on top of the money that's stolen just trying to deal with this. | ||
| Again, it seems like a modern country in 2025 should be able to accurately verify identity. | ||
| And deal with these scam callers, and Elon's doing just that. | ||
| Alright, welcome back. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, this is the American Journal. | ||
| I'm your host, Harrison Smith. | ||
| I have so many videos to get to today. | ||
| We'll go to one that we covered in the Daily Dispatch, but we'll be right back. | ||
| We've watched over the last several months as Trump, I believe, has sincerely tried to bring about peace in Ukraine. | ||
| The reaction to this has been intense with Ukraine seeming to agree to terms of the settlement and then flip-flopping, making ridiculous demands, being walked back. | ||
| They've held Multiple meetings with the Russians, with the Ukrainians, never at the same time. | ||
| And again, just a very bizarre situation. | ||
| So I guess what we have is we have a proxy war being waged. | ||
| Just wrap your mind around this. | ||
| You have a proxy war being waged between America and Russia with Russia fighting Ukraine. | ||
| Ukraine being funded and trained and their intelligence gathering. | ||
| Everything being provided by America through NATO with troops on the ground, special forces on the ground, training Ukrainian recruits, providing the intelligence, providing the surveillance, the satellites, the weaponry. | ||
| So you have a proxy war between America and Russia with Ukraine as the proxy for America. | ||
| But now America and Russia want to come to terms and the proxy state... | ||
| Is preventing the settlement. | ||
| I don't know if this has ever happened before in history. | ||
| You've got Ukraine as like a rogue proxy state of America. | ||
| And we are somehow still stuck funding them and helping them to prosecute the war sort of against our wishes and the proxy state that's being destroyed. | ||
| Is persisting in the fight, even though it's not even its own fight. | ||
| It has no chance of winning. | ||
| It couldn't possibly exist without the support of us, its patron, its controller, its puppet master. | ||
| So we have a golem situation here. | ||
| We have a Pinocchio situation. | ||
| The puppet that we created has now taken on a life of its own and is preventing peace. | ||
| Even though it's what America and Russia want. | ||
| It's very strange. | ||
| It's a very bizarre situation to be in. | ||
| Now Putin is saying that the UN should set up a temporary government in Ukraine. | ||
| And he'll deal with them. | ||
| Because it's clear that Zelensky has absolutely no interest in achieving peace. | ||
| Is engaged in his own... | ||
| Asinine struggle to retain power. | ||
| Which just trying to think about this, I mean, what could Ukraine be holding out for? | ||
| I mean, what do they think is going to happen? | ||
| We'll go through later today the collapse of Europe and the inability for Europe to even operate itself, let alone Wage a war against Russia. | ||
| We'll talk about some of the irony of the current global order with Europe having spent the last several decades condescendingly mocking America for being warmongers or the world police. | ||
| And as soon as we stop doing that, they get very mad and call us traitors and say we're the enemies now because we're doing what they've been begging us to do for the last... | ||
| Several decades. | ||
| It's all very stupid. | ||
| People are stupid. | ||
| Suicidal, actually. | ||
| So, I mean, what is Ukraine holding out for? | ||
| What do they think they're going to get? | ||
| The only reason that you would not go for peace when it's offered is because the momentum of the conflict is in your direction. | ||
| If Ukraine was seizing territory, if they were achieving major tactical victories against Russia, then you would want to delay peace because the longer the war goes on, the better position you are for the peace negotiations. | ||
| But Ukraine, basically since the war started, hasn't really achieved much. | ||
| Every couple of months, they launch a new counteroffensive that just... | ||
| Fizzles out and fails utterly. | ||
| Russia has not just conquered the territory that it had its sights set on, but it's spent two years fortifying and really bringing it into the Russian sphere. | ||
| So I think Putin's got a point here. | ||
| I think Putin's got a point. | ||
| He's just like, Zelensky's not negotiating. | ||
| There's no path into the future for him. | ||
| He's got nothing. | ||
| So what are we doing here? | ||
| So this one guy and his despotic regime, his dictatorial occupation of the presidential office there, is the sole reason that thousands of people are dying, the war is continuing, that the conflict is... | ||
| Ever threatening to expand? | ||
| Like, why is this guy allowed to do it? | ||
| Especially when his position in total is entirely the consequence of American influence. | ||
| And America doesn't want him waging the war anymore. | ||
| I mean, none of this makes any sense. | ||
| So on Thursday night, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared he cannot sign a peace plan with Ukraine's illegitimate government. | ||
| Citing a lack of trust in Kiev's current leadership, he proposed... | ||
| That it be replaced by a temporary government administered by the United Nations, United States, and European nations. | ||
| Putin said Moscow will negotiate peace with this new government. | ||
| Quote, it will be possible to discuss the possibility of introducing temporary management in Ukraine under the auspices of the UN and the United Nations, even with European countries, of course, with our partners and friends. | ||
| And for what? | ||
| In order to hold democratic elections, in order to bring to power a capable and trusted government. | ||
| And then start negotiations on a peace treaty with them to start signing legitimate documents that will be recognized all over the world, the Russian president said in Russian, translated to English. | ||
| In such cases, international practice follows a well-known path within the framework of the United Nations peacekeeping activities. | ||
| Several instances have already demonstrated what is referred to as external management or temporary administration, he said. | ||
| Putin's trust issues with Kiev may stem from a number of key events. | ||
| Soon after agreeing to a temporary ceasefire, which Moscow was then allowed to have say in the stipulations of before agreeing to it, Ukraine broke the agreement by bombing Russian energy infrastructure targets repeatedly. | ||
| The ceasefire specifically focused on infrastructure targets, so Kiev's target selection is notable. | ||
| Russia retaliated against this Ukrainian attack with their own attacks against similar Ukrainian targets. | ||
| Despite this, the U.S. still believed a ceasefire within a couple weeks was possible. | ||
| While Ukrainian diplomats were meeting with U.S. diplomats in Saudi Arabia for a peace summit on March 11th, its military was drone bombing, sleeping Russian civilians, and terroristic apartment building drone attacks. | ||
| Apart from Kiev's military action, the actions of Ukraine's dictator Zelensky may have also destroyed Moscow's trust in negotiations. | ||
| In February, the dictator went to D.C. and disrespected America and the White House. | ||
| Following his insult-filled meeting with President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance, the dictator refused to sign the Trump peace plan and was shown the door. | ||
| Of note, days prior to the fiery White House scuffle, European leaders went to Kiev to bribe its dictator into continuing his war. | ||
| Interestingly, in December, Putin said that he only had one requirement deciding a peace plan that Kiev hold elections for their dictator. | ||
| Zelensky, however, has repeatedly refused to hold elections, causing Trump to call him a dictator without elections in February. | ||
| So his presidency ended in May. | ||
| He refused to step down. | ||
| Due to wartime provisions in the Ukrainian constitution, he reiterated his anti-election stance in November during a speech before the Ukrainian parliament. | ||
| So again, putting aside any biases or prejudices about this conflict, even from just that short recitation of facts, it's pretty clear you have Putin wants peace, has a pretty simple demand. | ||
| Ukraine has to hold elections. | ||
| Willing to agree to ceasefires, Ukraine is breaking them, holding peace negotiations. | ||
| Russia seems to, on the surface at least, be doing this in good faith. | ||
| Meanwhile, Ukraine is bombing Russian civilians while refusing any accommodation to the peace process. | ||
| So now Putin is fed up and is just like, alright, can we just get the UN to step in and take over Ukraine so we can actually negotiate with somebody who's not motivated? | ||
| Solely by his own ambition. | ||
| In response to this, Zelensky just continues to be the worst. | ||
| He's just the worst. | ||
| He really is. | ||
| So let's go now to, was it clip number 23? | ||
| Because here we are, two years, three years on in this conflict. | ||
| Ukraine has never achieved the upper hand. | ||
| It's only getting worse. | ||
| Here's a chance actually for Ukraine to make a deal with America and Russia. | ||
| Get some sort of settlement that is at least in some way beneficial to his country, if not him personally. | ||
| And he decides to just make everything worse for everybody and make the possibility of some sort of settled, negotiated peace. | ||
| That much less possible. | ||
| Here's his statements on Vladimir Putin yesterday. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It also depends on his age. | |
| He will die soon. | ||
| That's a fact. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And it will come to an end. | |
| And it could come to an end even before he ends his absolutely safe and losing, historically, losing life. | ||
| Historically lost life. | ||
| Zelensky threatens Putin on TV, claims he will die soon. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, I guess that's one solution. | ||
| You could just kill the leader. | ||
| I mean, that doesn't even make sense. | ||
| From what I know about Putin, I'm going to guess that if he dies, somebody worse will take his place. | ||
| I have to think that... | ||
| After ruling Russia for 30 years at this point, he probably has a pretty good handle on his cabinet and a pretty decent plan to carry on Russian activities even in his absence. | ||
| After all, if you look at his ministers and his security secretaries and things like that, they don't seem like the type of people who would... | ||
| Watch the leader of their country be assassinated and then give up and then surrender or then give in and beg for mercy. | ||
| They all seem like hard-hearted Russian gangsters that are only going to get worse if you do that. | ||
| So strategically, not a great move. | ||
| Now, obviously, saying Putin will die soon, not a great look for Zelensky. | ||
| To take the best possible interpretation, the best possible interpretation of the clip that we just saw, Zelensky's not threatening Putin. | ||
| He's saying that he'll die of old age soon. | ||
| Now, as far as I know, Putin is like one of the most fit 70-something-year-olds on the planet. | ||
| And is that where we're at in the Russian? | ||
| Ukrainian conflict. | ||
| I mean, Germany has just said that they're prepared for the conflict to continue for five years. | ||
| Is Zelensky suggesting we continue to supply his country with all the funds they need to operate for the next 15 years until Putin dies of old age? | ||
| Is that really what he's putting forth there? | ||
| Don't worry, this conflict will be over. | ||
| Putin will die of old age eventually. | ||
| Really? That's what we're waiting on. | ||
| So just 10, 15 more years of senseless, pointless, horrific bloodshed. | ||
| Who's going to die first? | ||
| Vladimir Putin or an entire generation of Ukrainians? | ||
| If that's the position, if your position in a war is our last best hope is waiting until the other leader Succumbs to old age. | ||
| I think it's time to go for peace. | ||
| I think it's time to negotiate peace. | ||
| What he's saying there is there's basically no hope unless Putin passes away of old age decades from now. | ||
| Yeah, maybe it's time to go for peace. | ||
| Maybe it's time to just surrender, admit defeat, get what you can out of the negotiations. | ||
| And then retire to your villa in Palm Beach. | ||
| Putin's going to die of old age before the Russian-Ukraine war ends. | ||
| That's Zelensky's suggestion. | ||
| So, you know. | ||
| What are we doing here? | ||
| You got this murderous little gremlin who admits In that clip, there's no hope of Ukrainian victory. | ||
| He doesn't even have a hope of turning things around. | ||
| He's literally saying we're going to wait until Vladimir Putin dies of old age and then we'll negotiate. | ||
| Is that what he's saying there? | ||
| Yeah, the tough guy act is wearing a little bit thin. | ||
| Okay? Maybe it's just the translation issues. | ||
| He's like, when Putin comes to the end of his historically life, and it's just like, are you trying to sound epic? | ||
| Are you trying to sound like you're like Aragorn talking about Sauron? | ||
| Like, what are you going for here exactly? | ||
| Because what it sounds like to me is you have absolutely nothing. | ||
| And people are like, you don't have the arms, you don't have the people, you don't have the money, you don't have the technology, you don't have the surveillance, you don't have the support of your allies, you don't have the industrial capacity, you don't have the support of the world community. | ||
| And he's like, yeah, but Putin will die in a couple decades, and then we'll see what's what. | ||
| Just surrender, dude. | ||
| Just surrender. | ||
| For the love of God. | ||
| But at this point, I almost don't want him to surrender. | ||
| I almost... | ||
| Because that is what's going to... | ||
| You get that, right? | ||
| That, like, if he surrenders, this is what really doesn't make any sense. | ||
| The deal is almost certainly going to oust him from office. | ||
| At which point, he's going to be able to go and gallivant around and, you know, give talks at NATO conferences and... | ||
| Hang out at the World Economic Forum and hang out at his, you know, various villas he has all over the world. | ||
| He'll be treated like a hero for the rest of his life. | ||
| I mean, it's almost unfair. | ||
| It's almost like he doesn't disease. | ||
| I mean, this dude is almost solely responsible for murdering a generation of his countrymen. | ||
| He's just going to go off into the sunset. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's like... | ||
| If I was Putin, I'd keep pushing and go, you know what? | ||
| Never mind. | ||
| We don't want elections in Ukraine. | ||
| We want Zelensky charged with an international tribunal. | ||
| We're going to hang him like we did the Nazi leaders. | ||
| I mean, at a certain point, this dude can't just get away with this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| So I don't know. | ||
| I don't know if... | ||
| The UN would go for this, but Europe, again, it's so strange what Europe is involved in right now, and I know we spent a long time on Europe yesterday. | ||
| I was hoping to spend more time just on domestic policies today, but Europe is doing everything it possibly can to create the conditions for wider war throughout that continent. | ||
| But they literally don't have the capacity to do it. | ||
| They're simultaneously talking about restarting the military industries of Europe while shutting down all of their capacity to do so. | ||
| So, I mean, it's just mindless. | ||
| It's just suicidal. | ||
| Meanwhile, Russia really is a military behemoth at this point. | ||
| And there's a video of the new, very interesting submarine that Russia has just released. | ||
| Yeah, clip number 15. Here's them christening this submarine. | ||
| I'll tell you about it on the other side, but here's the new incredibly dangerous submarine that Russia just came out with. | ||
| Meanwhile, Germany and France and UK are... | ||
| Shutting down their last steel mills and, you know, tearing down coal power plants that they built three years ago because of climate change initiatives. | ||
| So I don't know what they're thinking. | ||
| I don't know what exactly Europe is thinking here, but they got nothing, and they're going up against a military-industrial powerhouse, so not a great idea. | ||
| Not a great idea. | ||
| Here's the Russian submarine. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So there you go. | |
| That was posted by Amuse on X, saying Russia has recast itself as a military industrial behemoth. | ||
| Putin has now greenlit the launch of the Perm, a fourth generation nuclear powered attack submarine. | ||
| The first to carry the Zircon hypersonic cruise missile. | ||
| So what's Europe going to do with one of those parked off the coast of Germany? | ||
| What are they going to do when one of those is creeping around their international waters with hypersonic missiles that can't be stopped, with nuclear warheads that they can't... | ||
| In partnership with Iran in their massive hypersonic and ballistic missile program. | ||
| See, Europe has spent the last several decades castrating itself, literally in some cases, but figuratively in the military sense, demonizing America for its military actions around the world. | ||
| Criticizing America for being the world police and getting Europe involved in all these conflicts. | ||
| And now they're mad we're not doing that more. | ||
| Now they're mad that we stopped. | ||
| Now they're beating their chests and banging the war drum like they have a snowball's chance in hell when it comes to direct confrontation with the nation of Russia. | ||
| And while it wouldn't make any sense normally, like in a normal historical setting that corresponds with human nature, like this wouldn't make any sense. | ||
| But then you remember that for the last several decades, Europe has been on a suicide mission to destroy itself in every possible way. | ||
| And it turns out that starting a fight with nuclear-armed Russia, a much stronger and more capable... | ||
| It would really just accelerate all the stuff Europe has been doing to itself forever. | ||
| So we can get back into that on the other side. | ||
| I'll compile just some of what Europe has been up to. | ||
| But only one country in the European Union has nuclear missiles. | ||
| That's France. | ||
| UK has some as well. | ||
| They've just got nothing compared to what Russia has. | ||
| So, you know, in any normal situation with a group of countries that actually wanted to continue to exist, this doesn't make any sense. | ||
| But when you remember that the leadership of Europe, like the leadership of America, pretty much openly hates, despises and is at war with its own people, then it actually all kind of makes sense. | ||
| And again, it's just the madness that has gripped Europe is so hard to even comprehend or understand. | ||
| And we'll try to lay out and just give you an overview of some of what they're up to. | ||
| I mean, it's... | ||
| It's utterly inexplicable what they're doing. | ||
| Germany built an incredibly efficient, advanced coal power plant three years ago, and they just tore it down. | ||
| Not that it broke. | ||
| Not that it, you know, had some major flaw and it fell apart. | ||
| Not that they, like, tried their best. | ||
| No, they tore it down. | ||
| So it just makes no sense. | ||
| Just none of this makes any sense. | ||
| It doesn't make sense on its own, but then you combine it with everything else going on and it makes even less sense, right? | ||
| Like, it wouldn't make sense anyway to be tearing down your industrial capacity willingly, on purpose, for no reason. | ||
| But then you combine that with the fact that they're, like, trying to start a war with Russia and it's like, you all are crazy, man. | ||
| Alright, welcome back, folks. | ||
| Again, we'll get back into American politics. | ||
| Let's talk a minute more about just the sheer... | ||
| Unrelenting insanity of the European Union, NATO, our allies across the Atlantic. | ||
| This is how somebody on 4chan put it. | ||
| After decades of crapping on and insulting Americans for being warmongers and refusing to help the U.S. against Russia and China, Europeans suddenly love NATO and American interventionalism. | ||
| Meanwhile, all the conservatives who fight America's wars have become black-pilled isolationists who don't give a damn if Russian tanks cruise into Paris and don't think Western liberals are any friendlier than Putin. | ||
| How are Europeans going to cope with the fact that their arrogance has destroyed their continent? | ||
| Well, that's the beauty of arrogance. | ||
| You never have to admit it. | ||
| They will be standing above the ash dust ruins of a once great continent. | ||
| And they'll still be condescending and act superior. | ||
| It's an unbreakable shield of theirs, their supposed superiority, their cultural significance. | ||
| I mean, these people are not long for this world. | ||
| I hate to say it, but like you can't, I mean, yeah, the continent of Europe is just like, either it's got to throw off The shackles of the EU and NATO and these bureaucratic managers who are systematically disempowering and eliminating their own people. | ||
| And they have to throw those off and reclaim their birthright and actually establish a Europe that works for Europeans. | ||
| Or they just get to become the Middle East 2.0. | ||
| Africa 2.0. | ||
| They'll just say, one way or another, People currently leading Europe are not exactly establishing the foundation for a long and glorious civilization. | ||
| They are at the end of this particular manifestation and at an inflection point where they either are destroyed forever or are rebirthed in the fires of revolution. | ||
| But it's time. | ||
| It's time. | ||
| One way or the other, it is time for one of those things to happen. | ||
| And I'd prefer America, I mean Europe, be around and alive and survive and not choose to go away forever and be consigned to history. | ||
| History written, by the way, by people who already are eliminating Europeans' history itself. | ||
| So I don't just mean going away in terms of like... | ||
| The European race no longer existing and the cultural developments of Europe no longer being output. | ||
| Just that's the beginning. | ||
| And then all the history will be rewritten, all the monuments destroyed, all the books burned. | ||
| And then the very memory of Europe will be eliminated. | ||
| It'll be like the elves from Lord of the Rings. | ||
| A century from now, they'll be telling stories about a race of people that once existed. | ||
| That they say built all of this, but nobody will really remember who they are. | ||
| Europeans are passing into myth, is what I'm saying. | ||
| Of course, it'll be convenient because at the same time that happens, China will perfect and legalize CRISPR technology, so then you'll be able to recreate the appearance of Europeans through genetic manipulation, and you'll be able to recreate Blonde hair and blue eyes in the most desirable physical appearances of Europeans, but it'll all be fraudulent. | ||
| So it's an interesting future of horror and death and chaos ahead. | ||
| Or Europe can just, you know, regain its footing, reestablish its pride, and not commit suicide. | ||
| I guess the choice is theirs. | ||
| Choosing to die. | ||
| Let's go down to clip number 11. Here's the NATO chief, Mark Root. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, there will be no normalization of relations with Russia when the war is over. | |
| That will not happen. | ||
| That will take decades because there is a total lack of confidence. | ||
| The threat is still there. | ||
| As I said in my speech, even if the war comes to a conclusion, the Russian threat is still there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They are building a war economy. | |
| They are spending so much money on defense. | ||
| Yeah, trying to sound so excited, Mark Root. | ||
| We'll be right back. | ||
|

|
Welcome back folks. | |
| This is the American Journal. | ||
| The second hour is on. | ||
| Report us at thealexjonesstore.com. | ||
| We just got in our new Methylene Blue. | ||
| We may be preempting the official announcement of this. | ||
| It's supposed to go live during Alex Jones'show today, as we understand it. | ||
| But I saw it on the website, so it's available. | ||
| So I'm going to promote it. | ||
| I'm going to plug it because I've been a big fan of Methylene Blue since I started using it a few months ago. | ||
| And when first shopping from Ethyl and Blue, I had a hard time figuring out what brands were trustworthy, what was good, what wasn't. | ||
| Everybody claims to be the best, but you know if you've shopped ever at Infowarsstore or the AlexJonesstore.com, our products are absolutely the best on the market. | ||
| Our entire business plan revolves around return customers. | ||
| It would be suicidal for us to sell you something that didn't make you want to come back and get more. | ||
| So we make sure to get the highest and best quality, but we don't even... | ||
| We don't even leave it up to chance. | ||
| Everything that we get has already been, you know, sourced and filtered and, you know, third-party tested. | ||
| Like, all that stuff happens. | ||
| But then when we get it, we test it again just in case. | ||
| That's why the Shilajit that we have is the best on the market. | ||
| No heavy metals. | ||
| It's not the case with lower quality ones. | ||
| The methylene blue varies in quality. | ||
| Ours is the best in the market. | ||
| Tested by a third party before we ever got it. | ||
| And then again, once we got it. | ||
| If you've been wanting to try Methyl and Blue, but been like, I don't really know where to start or who to get it from, now you've got a source you can trust, thealexjonesstore.com slash Harrison. | ||
| Get your Methyl and Blue today and see what it can do for you. | ||
| Now with that, we'll return to American politics. | ||
| And there's a lot going on. | ||
| There's a lot going on right now about public media. | ||
| It's one of these, well, it's all of them. | ||
| So you got NPR, PBS, you got the Smithsonian, all of these institutions were created, I think, with good intention, and it's something that I support in theory, right? | ||
| I think it's good to have a national public radio. | ||
| I think it's good to have a national public broadcasting service where you can... | ||
| Have shows that are not reliant on selling toys to kids, right? | ||
| You can have educational shows. | ||
| They don't have to be flashy. | ||
| They don't get replaced with reality shows. | ||
| You know, because, you know, all of these things go through transformations, one sort or another. | ||
| When they're government-funded, they seem to go through the transformation of starting off Being somewhat pure, being somewhat nonpartisan and just like, we're just going to make a public broadcasting service. | ||
| We're going to play educational shows for preschoolers and we're going to show educational documentaries. | ||
| We're going to have unbiased news. | ||
| And it's like, wow, that's amazing. | ||
| Then over time, it's infiltrated by leftists. | ||
| It gets warped. | ||
| It becomes propaganda. | ||
| Suddenly it's just like pure, unrelenting propaganda constantly. | ||
| If you ever turn in, I mean, play a game where you turn NPR on and you see if you can make it one minute without hearing about race or sex or bigotry or one of these phrases. | ||
| They can't do it. | ||
| They can't do it. | ||
| It's like an obsession of theirs. | ||
| It doesn't matter what they're covering. | ||
| They have to approach it from the angle of communistic class warfare. | ||
| Racial strife, white supremacy angle. | ||
| And it's everything. | ||
| I mean, literally, they'll be doing... | ||
| It'll be like, now, you know, NPR correspondent Lakshmi Shmalgatara is doing a report on penguins and their nesting in Antarctica. | ||
| And they're just like, yes, that's right. | ||
| I'm here in Antarctica where there are no black people. | ||
| Why? Are white people the only ones in Antarctica? | ||
| The penguins are over there. | ||
| Black people, again, face discrimination. | ||
| And then it's like, well, I thought this was about penguins. | ||
| What are we doing here? | ||
| It's like they can't cover anything without infesting it with their libtard nonsense. | ||
| But, you know, the capitalistic channels go through a different transformation. | ||
| You start off with, like, I think A&E. | ||
| It wasn't A&E originally. | ||
| It was like arts and entertainment or, I mean, there are all these channels where it's like, TLC, right? | ||
| The Learning Channel. | ||
| It played like very boring documentaries. | ||
| I think the idea behind TLC, the Learning Channel, was like, it's a channel any teacher could put on and it could teach a class for them. | ||
| It'll just be constantly educational stuff. | ||
| And then over time, it's like, well, it turns out it's a lot cheaper just to do reality shows about drug-addicted midgets. | ||
| So let's do that instead, actually. | ||
| And suddenly it's like nothing but documentaries about... | ||
| It's like, okay, so everything kind of starts off pure and good and with good intentions, and then either it's public and it becomes communistic propaganda, or it's capitalistic and just becomes lowest common denominator trash. | ||
| It's unfortunate, but that's just the fact. | ||
| That's just the way it is. | ||
| So it's another one of these situations where, like, and the Smithsonian's just as bad, where, you know, the price of liberty is eternal vigilance. | ||
| You have to constantly be vigilant against the Creeping communism that assaults all of these public organs. | ||
| And failure to do so is like a snowball rolling down the hill, and it just, it gets, the bigger, the faster it goes, the bigger it gets, the faster it goes, and it just, eventually, everybody in your organization is a diehard socialist scumbag, and they've hijacked your entire corporation for their own ends. | ||
| And that's what's happened with the... | ||
| With PBS and NPR and the Smithsonian and basically any other outlet for information from the government. | ||
| They have a hard time accepting this, understanding that this is the case, which is strange because they are the ones doing it. | ||
| You have these hearings for the head of NPR. | ||
| She's going, I don't think there's any liberal bias. | ||
| And I thought, I mean, maybe we can just do it right now. | ||
| Should we turn on NPR right now and see what they're talking about and see if they have liberal bias? | ||
| I don't know, though, because they're in hearings and they, so they might, I bet a memo went out to the editors, just like, hey, while we're doing these hearings, let's not, let's not be so overboard with the liberal madness, okay? | ||
| Can we do that, please? | ||
| So, I don't know. | ||
| They might be switching things up these days for the appearance of impartiality. | ||
| But it's a... | ||
| It's a complete joke. | ||
| It's a total farce. | ||
| Like, it would be like me being questioned by Congress and sitting there going, Infowars has no conservative bias? | ||
| No, I don't see that at all. | ||
| We have no pro-American bias. | ||
| That's absurd. | ||
| That's ridiculous. | ||
| It's like, why don't you turn on InfoWars for three minutes? | ||
| Because, you know, we're honest. | ||
| We have biases. | ||
| They're just good biases for truth and reality and humanity and against tyranny and enslavement and all these things. | ||
| But those are our biases and we're pretty open about it because it doesn't actually affect whether or not we talk about things or say the truth because we're not biased in favor of Particular political organization or anything like that, we're just biased in favor of the truth and ourselves, America, Christianity, just general reality. | ||
| We're biased towards that. | ||
| So the idea that NPR would actually, with a straight face, say they don't think they're biased, it's actually kind of worse. | ||
| It's kind of worse that they can't see it. | ||
| You got some NPR? | ||
| Should we listen to what NPR is? | ||
| Let's see what NPR is up to right now. | ||
| Or an intelligence officer and they had this kind of behavior, they would be fired. | ||

Arthur, Senator Warner is talking about a double standard there and accountability. | |
| Absolutely. And the takeaway from these hearings, I mean, Tulsi Gabbard, the DNI, and John McCliff, the CIA director, basically acknowledged that, yeah, we were on this chat, but there was no classified information, so it was okay. | ||
| Tulsi Gabbard changed her story several times over two days of testimony about whether there was classified information, whether weapons were discussed, and some other things, too. | ||
| Right. But a continuous... | ||
| There may have been shifting of the goalposts, but essentially what they're saying is it's not a big deal. | ||
| The attack plans or war plans were not revealed. | ||
| It's actually not that big of a deal. | ||
| It's actually... | ||
| We talked about it for a day. | ||
| That was about enough. | ||
| Nothing new has come of it. | ||
| Hold multiple hearings and NPR is going to continue talking about that probably for the next week or so. | ||
| Probably for the next week or so, they'll continue to cover that story and that story alone the entire time. | ||
| And we really should listen to NPR more. | ||
| We should. | ||
| Because just like CNN or any of these others, people can listen to NPR and they actually can think that they're not being biased. | ||
| And there was a... | ||
| I should really find it. | ||
| There was a tweet that... | ||
| That put it pretty well, or at least it's a framework of how you can sort of see through the facade of impartiality. | ||
| And the person was saying that there's a rule of twos. | ||
| And basically, if it's a story about Democrats, they'll get two good things said about them. | ||
| If it's a story about Republicans, it'll be two bad things. | ||
| I'm going to find that tweet, but I want to go to these other videos first. | ||
| Let's go first to clip number 27. This is Paul Kerger lying during the Doge hearings. | ||
| Paula Kerger. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||

I want to ask you a very simple question. | |
| In retrospect, do you think that it was inappropriate to put the drag queen on the kids' show? | ||
| Do you think that was a mistake? | ||
| The Drag Queen was actually not on any of our kids' shows. | ||
| The image that Chairman Taylor Greene showed was from a project that our New York City station did with the New York City Department of Education. | ||
| What time of day did it air? | ||
| It did not air. | ||
| It was a digital project they did for the Department of Education. | ||
| Do you think that that should have anything to do with PBS? | ||
| It was not for PBS. | ||
| It was mistakenly put on our website. | ||
| I'm sorry, I don't mean to talk over you. | ||
| It was mistakenly put on our website by our New York City station. | ||
| It was not intended for national distribution. | ||
| It was immediately pulled down. | ||
| It was never broadcast. | ||
| Do you think that you should publish something that calls trees racist? | ||
| In retrospect, should you have published that? | ||
| I'm not sure what you're referring to. | ||
| You had a segment that was called Racist Trees. | ||
| I mean, we've already referenced it a number of times. | ||
| So, I mean, do you think trees can be racist? | ||
| I guess that's a good one. | ||
| I don't know what you're talking about. | ||
| I've never heard of what you're referring to. | ||
| But I'd be happy to look into it. | ||
| I guess, do you think that it's appropriate to expose children... | ||
| To issues of transitioning, do you see a problem with that? | ||
| Is that something you should avoid? | ||
| That is not anything on any of our children's programs at all. | ||
| Ms. Kerger, you have done a far better job here today, and we're going to continue to have this conversation. | ||
| But again, we have $36 trillion in debt, and we're trying to figure out how to make sure that our kids and our grandkids have an opportunity at the American Dream, because if we don't change course financially, they won't. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| I yield back. | ||
| So that was a lie. | ||
| She's like, I don't know what you're talking about. | ||
| Again, it's like, well, do you ever watch your programs? | ||
| I mean, all of PBS. | ||
| At this point, and it's the kids' shows as well, it's propaganda. | ||
| Here it is, the documentary, Racist Trees. | ||
| I have no idea what you're talking about. | ||
| Alright, well, it's a documentary called Racist Trees, so maybe look into it. | ||
| It's the type of thing that your business is up to, your entire company is up to. | ||
| It's like, oh, we never showed trans people. | ||
| That was just a short thing with the Department of Education that was on our website. | ||
| Well, that's not actually an excuse one way or the other. | ||
| Racist trees. | ||
| Racist trees and trans Muppets. | ||
| This from an organization that's supposed to have things like Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. | ||
| Again, NPR is even worse. | ||
| Here's Marjorie Taylor Greene taking them to task. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
| As mentioned earlier, PBS was the outlet that featured the child predator drag queen on the education show for kids ages 3 to 8 years old. | ||
| And to clarify the record, because our witness, Ms. Kerger, lied under oath and said it wasn't featured on PBS, this show was aired on PBS on April 1st. | ||
| 2021 and we will take a look at this video right now. | ||
| We're using a TV today because our audio system is having problems. | ||
| Let's go ahead and watch this video. | ||
| So get your singing voices ready. | ||
| We're going to start with our hips. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The hips on the drag queen go swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish. | |
| The shoulders on the drag queen go shimmy, shimmy, shimmy, shimmy, shimmy, shimmy, shimmy, shimmy. | ||
| Blah, blah, blah. | ||
| The mouth on the drag queen goes blah, blah, blah. | ||
| town. | ||
| The hips go swish, swish, swish. | ||
| The shoulders go shimmy, shimmy, shimmy. | ||
| That's repulsive. | ||
| That's not what children ages 3 to 8 should ever be watching. | ||
| A grown biological man posing as a woman. | ||
| And by the way, Ms. Kerger, that was aired on April 1st, 2021. | ||
| And then something happened. | ||
| It wasn't an accident. | ||
| And it wasn't just for a brief time that it was up. | ||
| It was aired April 1st. | ||
| And then somehow it expired May 24th. | ||
| Later, later on, it was taken down. | ||
| I wonder why. | ||
| I wonder why that was taken down. | ||
| Okay, so she lied under oath. | ||
| Would you want to punish her for that? | ||
| By any chance? | ||
| Again, yeah, I mean, we have more. | ||
| There's a new video out just today. | ||
| Here, we can play this off my computer. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Found another liberal Democrat. | ||
| It's a drag queen, this time in a gazebo, at a park, literally stripping in front of a bunch of children. | ||
| You know, it's one of those things, do I need, there you go, stripping down into a thong. | ||
| Trans man, pervert dude at a kid's birthday party or something? | ||
| I don't even like showing this. | ||
| I feel like this should be illegal. | ||
| This video shouldn't exist. | ||
| It shouldn't be legal to show you this. | ||
| But they're doing it in public, so we have to show you. | ||
| I don't even see any adults in that audience. | ||
| Just kids being introduced to just bizarre sexual fetish material. | ||
| I mean, it's not just PBS. | ||
| But PBS is obviously helping to normalize it, helping to spread it, helping to propagandize children with this. | ||
| And at a certain point, I don't think I should have to make an argument against this. | ||
| At a certain point, there's no arguing about this. | ||
| There's people that are perverting children, and then there are people that have the responsibility to put a stop to that. | ||
| And there's no argument in favor. | ||
| There's no... | ||
| I mean, what would the argument be in favor of this? | ||
| You're showing children drag queen content. | ||
| I don't have to. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't feel like I have to make an argument against this. | ||
| I feel like we have to just stop it. | ||
| We have to just physically stop it. | ||
| Legally stop it. | ||
| Is this the drag queen from that PBS? | ||
| So yeah, PBS. | ||
| It's another documentary about drag queens. | ||
| Peaches Christ. | ||
| So yeah, there you go. | ||
| Not just a drag queen, but a blasphemous name on top. | ||
| Painting themselves like clowns. | ||
| and just desperate to get near some kids. | ||
|
unidentified
|
you. | |
| I mean, what am I supposed to say? | ||
| What am I supposed to say? | ||
| What is there even to say at this point? | ||
| Except, the one thing I'll say we can take from this is just more evidence Of the evil at play here. | ||
| In other words, as Marjorie Taylor Greene showed you, not only was that video of the drag queen published on PBS, aired on PBS, was on their website, but it was taken down and it was scrubbed and it was hidden. | ||
| So if these people genuinely thought this was innocent, thought this was just fun and games, thought there was nothing wrong, nothing even... | ||
| You know, objectionable about what they were doing because it was just pure and wholesome. | ||
| Drag Queen Story Hours offers a different kind of page-turner. | ||
| There's another article from PBS news and other video from PBS again, promoting drag Queens getting in contact with children. | ||
|
unidentified
|
you. | |
| Yeah, we gotta put a stop to it. | ||
| We gotta put a stop to it, and it's as simple as that. | ||
| And they know. | ||
| They know that it's wrong and weird and bad. | ||
| They know that it's not wholesome and good and normal because you wouldn't delete it and hide it and lie about it in Congress if it was good. | ||
| So the people running NPR and PBS, like, they're just evil. | ||
| They're just evil. | ||
| Degenerate weirdos that are trying to teach your children about their fetishes. | ||
| Okay, PBS rejects Marjorie Taylor Greene's assertions about drag queen programming. | ||
| Okay? What? | ||
| Rejects Greene's assertions? | ||
| This is... | ||
| There it is. | ||
| There's the dishonest framing. | ||
| The media manipulation, the rhetorical tricks. | ||
| They reject Marjorie Taylor Greene's assertions. | ||
| Okay. But it was real. | ||
| But it was true. | ||
| And we saw the video of it. | ||
| So it wasn't an assertion by Marjorie Taylor Greene. | ||
| She just happened to be the one discussing reality. | ||
| So if I say the sky is blue, that's not an assertion from Harrison Smith. | ||
| That's me just saying something that is fact. | ||
| Marjorie Schiller-Green was saying facts. | ||
| PBS can't deny her assertions, but they're true. | ||
| You're denying reality, so you're just closing your eyes and hiding under the covers because you think we can't see you. | ||
| It was there. | ||
| She showed the video. | ||
| We've seen three other examples in just three minutes that the crew has pulled up, but the New York Times writes, PBS... | ||
| Rejects Marjorie Taylor Greene's assertions as if they're opinions, as if they're something not imminently provable by reality. | ||
| I mean, it's all just insane. | ||
| At a certain point, we just need to stop listening to these people and just put them all in jail. | ||
| Jarvis at Jarvis underscore best. | ||
| I listen to a lot of NPR and my favorite tick of theirs is what I like to call the two good facts, two bad facts. | ||
| Once you hear it, you can't unhear it. | ||
| If it's a dim policy or politician, they get two good facts. | ||
| Like this, quote, Kamala Harris, who is, one, gaining in the polls, and has a new proposal to do a good thing. | ||
| One is too few and three is too many, so they have to get exactly two. | ||
| The GOP gets two bad facts. | ||
| Like this, quote, Legislation X, which has been criticized by National Association of Sympathetic Figures, is losing support amongst key members of the committee to do things. | ||
| And it's true. | ||
| I mean, you'll see this all the time. | ||
| And people listening, they'll go, well, they covered both the Democrats and the Republicans. | ||
| And it's like, did you not hear the framing? | ||
| It's subtle, but it's there. | ||
| And it'll bang you over the head once you notice. | ||
| All right, welcome back, folks. | ||
| We've got a lot of videos still to get to. | ||
| Today we'll be joined by Wid Lyman, a White House correspondent. | ||
| Get an update. | ||
| That's what's going on in D.C. at 10 o'clock. | ||
| I want to go. | ||
| Let's just go quickly to clip number five here because I think this is hilarious. | ||
| This is Scott Adams, Dilbert author, with a, I think, a very reasonable and good suggestion. | ||
| I don't know why we didn't come up with this before. | ||
| The Department of Imaginary Concerns. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
| Now that we know that the big problem... | ||
| Was the imaginary concern of what could have happened but didn't happen? | ||
| I've suggested that Trump should create a department of imaginary concerns. | ||
| And it would be only to handle Democrat complaints. | ||
| And the new department could have imaginary policies to combat the imaginary concerns. | ||
| So you place things like climate change in there. | ||
| Climate change, at least the crisis part of the climate change. | ||
| You put the Russia collusion thing in there. | ||
| You put the Hooties could have found out by hacking signal in there. | ||
| You put Trump might steal your democracy in the imaginary concerns department. | ||
| That Musk might steal our social security numbers. | ||
| You put that right in the department of imaginary concerns. | ||
| And that there might be a constitutional crisis. | ||
| Yep, that's the department of imaginary concerns. | ||
| Now, I'm not completely serious about this, but just think how funny it would be if every time one of these hoaxes comes up and Trump is asked about it, he says, oh, I've delegated that to the Department of Imaginary Concerns. | ||
| But are you trying to steal our democracy? | ||
| You know, that's a perfectly good question. | ||
| So I've delegated that to the Department of Imaginary Concerns. | ||
| Did you agree with Putin to have sex with him if he stops the fighting? | ||
| Well, you know, no. | ||
| But I'm going to assign that to the Department of Imaginary Concerns, and we'll come up with an imaginary policy to make sure it doesn't happen again. | ||
| That's brilliant. | ||
| And it's pretty much all of the Democrats' concerns. | ||
| I mean, just go through the list of... | ||
| You know, what their concerns are for the last decade, none of them exist. | ||
| I mean, he just went through a few of them, but I mean, really, list them out, right? | ||
| Russia collusion with Donald Trump, totally imaginary, never existed. | ||
| Let's go with COVID-19. | ||
| COVID-19 and the pandemic, we're all going to die. | ||
| Well, it's kind of imaginary, actually. | ||
| Actually, the threat was entirely in your minds. | ||
| And everything you did to deal with the imaginary threat created real problems. | ||
| That's the other twist of the issue of the imaginary concerns, is their actual solutions to these concerns create actual concerns. | ||
| The imaginary concern of Russia collusion creates the real concern that the deep state is spying on presidential candidates to rig elections, totally undermining and subverting our entire democracy. | ||
| Weaponizing the surveillance that we have for defense of the nation. | ||
| So it's kind of complicated. | ||
| The concerns start off imaginary, and then whatever they do to confront those imaginary concerns actually become real, tangible problems. | ||
| Black Lives Matter. | ||
| Cops killing black people. | ||
| Hunting them down. | ||
| Murdering them. | ||
| Didn't exist. | ||
| Doesn't happen. | ||
| Not real. | ||
| Of course, massive problems because of it. | ||
| And you can just go on and on. | ||
| Russia hacking Biden and releasing disinformation on the Biden laptop. | ||
| Totally imaginary. | ||
| Doesn't exist. | ||
| Climate change itself, obviously, as Scott Adams points out. | ||
| Non-existent. | ||
| Not real. | ||
| Doesn't exist. | ||
| The asylum crisis. | ||
| See, that one's interesting because, again, the problem doesn't actually exist. | ||
| In other words, there's not some major war. | ||
| South of us, people in South and Central America being hunted by their own government, desperately sinking asylum like World War II when the asylum laws were written. | ||
| The concern doesn't actually exist, but the pretense that the concern could exist allows for millions of migrants to come in, creating a giant issue, a giant problem, an actual quote-unquote asylum crisis because fake asylum seekers were flooding across by the millions because of the fake concern of the Democrats. | ||
| I think it's brilliant. | ||
| It just might get too big. | ||
| It might get too big. | ||
| I mean, when you're starting a new government department, you want to have it have very well-defined areas where it can intervene. | ||
| In the Department of Magical Concerns, Imaginary Concerns, DOIC, we'll call it DOIC, D-O-I-C. | ||
| DOIC and DOGE. | ||
| DOIC and DOGE will save this country. | ||
| When you talk about imaginary concerns, it's literally everything the Democrats ever talk about ever all the time. | ||
| White supremacy, misogyny, Me Too movement. | ||
| It's all imaginary. | ||
| None of it actually exists. | ||
| None of it's real. | ||
| White supremacy, I mean, white supremacy or Jim Crow laws, redlining, sundown towns. | ||
| I mean, these are the things that they imagine and then get very scared of. | ||
| Pass laws to combat laws that make everything worse. | ||
| And we can think of a lot more, but yeah, they're all imaginary. | ||
| All of them. | ||
| 100% threat from Russia against America. | ||
| Totally imaginary. | ||
| The threat of domestic terror from Trump supporters. | ||
| Totally imaginary. | ||
| The insurrection on January 6th. | ||
| Completely a figment of their imagination. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I mean, is there anything the Democrats are concerned about that is real? | ||
| I really am having a hard time finding one. | ||
| So yeah, I mean, when you talk about wanting to have a Department of Imaginary Concerns, that's what the government is. | ||
| For the last couple decades, I mean, that is what the government... | ||
| I mean, the real problems, the real concerns that people have... | ||
| Collapsing economy, the collapsing birth rates, the wars that were starting overseas, Department of Imaginary Concerns and Knowledge, the dick. | ||
| It's not a bad idea. | ||
| I like DOIC a little bit better. | ||
| DOIC, the DOIC. | ||
| The dick's not bad. | ||
| Hey, the dick's not bad, alright? | ||
| Somebody's killing the unicorns! | ||
| Bigfoot is on the loose! | ||
| But no, when you talk about what the Democrats are constantly up to, I mean, it's literally all imaginary. | ||
| So there you go. | ||
| I mean, in the occasional instance where like, how do you put this? | ||
| The symptom is real, but the concern is imaginary. | ||
| An example of this would be homelessness in California. | ||
| In other words, the homeless crisis is real. | ||
| The things they're doing to try to solve it, the problems that they attribute it to are not real and don't make any sense and are imaginary, right? | ||
| So it's a little complicated in those types of situations, but the homeless crisis is real and the problems that cause it are numerous and multifaceted. | ||
| It's drug addiction. | ||
| Crime on the streets. | ||
| It's an economy that doesn't work. | ||
| I mean, there's lots of different problems. | ||
| According to the leftists and the socialists, it's because billionaires exist. | ||
| And what really needs to happen is billions of dollars needs to be spent on like a couple five-star hotels to house homeless people at. | ||
| And then they end up not buying the hotels. | ||
| And the homeless crisis only gets worse and worse and worse and worse and worse. | ||
| So we got a big problem with these imaginary concerns. | ||
| They're everywhere, and the things they do to try to combat the imaginary concerns create all the real actual problems everywhere. | ||
| It's very annoying. | ||
| In association with this, we go to clip number 10 here. | ||
| This is Lee Zeldin, head of the EPA, talking about how the EPA has been used, all these imaginary concerns that they have, to essentially serve as a slush fund for far-left so-called climate change activism. | ||
| Which is confronting a problem that doesn't exist. | ||
| This should be in the purview of DOIC. | ||
| Let's go to clip number 10. Do you believe the Biden administration was using the EPA as a political slush fund more than a tool to clean up our environment? | ||
| It was 100%. | ||
| EPA was absolutely being used to push out this green slush fund to their friends. | ||
| By design, the director of the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund leaves one of these NGOs, goes to work at the Biden administration to design this whole setup, and then sees his former employer get $5 billion. | ||
| I mean, we've seen it on the smaller grants as well. | ||
| One person who is a CEO of a nonprofit, was serving on the White House Environmental Justice Council, applied for $20 million, got it, even though they only received just over $2 million over the course of the prior three years. | ||
| So again, the more you dig into this, the more you realize that this was a green slush fund that was going to left-wing Activist groups rather than going directly towards remediating environmental issues. | ||
| So to the heart of your question, are we providing clean air, land and water? | ||
| This isn't... | ||
| Money that was spent directly towards remediating environmental issues. | ||
| This was money going through their friends and in some case going through multiple middlemen and each of these middlemen being able to pull their own fees out for their own benefit and the dilution of that American tax dollar is very obvious to us. | ||
| It seems to be quite obvious to most Americans who are paying attention. | ||
| Even though, for some, they want to turn a blind eye to all of it and make believe that there's no evidence of anything, despite the facts, despite the truth. | ||
| And that's what happens when you have a bunch of people with the infinite funds confronting a problem that doesn't actually exist. | ||
| It's just pure grift, pure, unrelenting grift. | ||
| And on that note, let's go to clip number seven here. | ||
| This is our old friend Ezra Klein. | ||
| Who we covered last week talking about Elon Musk saying, yeah, Fed's investigating. | ||
| Stacey Abrams linked to Group's insane $2 billion EPA grant. | ||
| Well, and remember, I mean, it was caught on video. | ||
| The guy saying the EPA is throwing gold bars off the Titanic, trying to get out as much money as possible. | ||
| They found these accounts with billions of dollars in them just sitting there, you know, unclaimed, but had been stored away, you know, trying to get it out of the prying eyes of Doge and the... | ||
| Trump administration. | ||
| So, yeah, it's just relentless fraud. | ||
| $375 billion EPA slush fund, handled by John Podesta, gave billions to charities, founded only months earlier. | ||
| See, that is a real concern. | ||
| It's all predicated on the fake concern of climate change and the fake things they're doing to pretend to solve it. | ||
| Just crazy. | ||
| Build Back Better was a good example of... | ||
| In that case, the concern, again, it's sort of multifaceted. | ||
| The virus itself wasn't a real concern. | ||
| Then the measures taken to deal with that fake concern created a bunch of other problems that they had to try to deal with in a way that was fake and non-actually existent. | ||
| And, you know, it's like, is it clear yet? | ||
| That the entirety of our government for a long time has just been insane. | ||
| We're just run by criminals and grifters and pedophiles and psychopaths and perverts and weirdos. | ||
| And it's no wonder everything is crap. | ||
| It shouldn't be surprising to anybody. | ||
| When you realize, I mean, from PBS and Drag Queen Story Hour and NPR and race baiting and climate change and billion-dollar slush funds handed out, he applied for a $20 million grant. | ||
| $20 million for filling out a form and a tax ID number for a fake charity you set up. | ||
| Total unrelenting fraud. | ||
| Continuous. Creating problems, solving nothing, and then using the discomfort and chaos that they create to then justify another spin of the feedback loop. | ||
| Let's go now to clue number seven. | ||
| This is Ezra Klein stunning Jonathan Stewart by detailing the failures of Biden's Build Back Better plan. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
| They didn't want to just build it, Ezra. | ||
| They wanted it back better. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. Man, there's something about throwing me back to that moment that hurts at this moment, right? | |
| Like the optimism. | ||
| It was a simpler time. | ||
| It was a simpler time. | ||
| But you make the point in the book, which I think is really interesting, that that moment of optimism actually crystallized. | ||
| In some ways, the failure. | ||
| Yes. And you make it very stark in terms of, you know, for instance, the chargers, you know, which I think is a great example. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, right, so liberals pass $7.5 billion for a nationwide network of electric vehicle chargers. | |
| We also get $42 billion, and this is a big thing they tout a lot, to do world broadband. | ||
| There's a lot of parts of this country that are not hooked up to broadband. | ||
| And in both cases, and these were passed early in the administration, particularly the rural broadband money, by the end of the administration, by the election, by the time I'm fact-checking the book, they just have not happened. | ||
| And you look into why, and we did look into why, and what you get are these incredibly baroque internal processes. | ||
| I'll focus on rural broadband for a minute here, because that one was a good idea. | ||
| Still a good idea. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And they liked it. | |
| Like, that was the one they went around when they talked about the infrastructure bill. | ||
| They were like, roads in rural broadband, right? | ||
| And if you look into what happened, they created, not in the bill, but this is really important. | ||
| We have this whole little schoolhouse rock song about, like, how bill becomes a law and it's, like, sitting on the steps of the Congress. | ||
| I'm not going to ask you to sing it, Ezra. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I'm so... | |
| I've been practicing. | ||
| I've been practicing. | ||
| What... We don't have this song. | ||
| About how the law becomes reality. | ||
| How the law becomes a series of implementation rules. | ||
| Then a notice of funding opportunity. | ||
| Then there's a comment period. | ||
| Then there's a challenge period for the comments. | ||
| Then there's a series of court cases. | ||
| And so for rural broadband, for instance, what you end up having is a 14-stage process. | ||
| Like there's a period where the Commerce Department... | ||
| It needs to draw up a map of which parts of the country don't have the right amount of broadband, and then there's a challenge period on the map, and da-da-da-da, and da-da-da-da. | ||
| And 56 states and jurisdictions try to apply for this money. | ||
| And again, this passes at the end of 2021. | ||
| They have time. | ||
| By the end of 2024, three have got into the end of the process. | ||
| They were trying. | ||
| Three of these 56? | ||
| Yes. End of the process, meaning they've actioned it, they've built it, or now they've got the- No, no, no. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of course not. | |
| I didn't mean they built it, Sean. | ||
| Sorry, I was so confused. | ||
| I confused you. | ||
| Oh, dear God. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They just got to the point where, in theory, they could get the money to build it. | |
| They had been approved for the money. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. Yes, basically. | |
| Yeah, they act surprised by this. | ||
| Oh, my effing God, Jon Stewart left speechless as Ezra Klein breaks down Biden-era red tape. | ||
| Like, how do you not know this? | ||
| How do you not know this is the case? | ||
| And it's... | ||
| I mean, I don't know if it's on purpose or not. | ||
| It seems like it is. | ||
| It seems like there are definitely things that could be done easily. | ||
| And that's part of what's happening with Doge is the realization that, like, you know, if it comes to spending an extra $10 million trying to get... | ||
| Veterans healthcare in rural areas, they'll go through that process that he just described. | ||
| Well, first we have to survey, then we have to do this, then we have to do this, then we have to figure this out, and it'll be three, you know, however many years, and eventually it'll be like, ah, it's just too expensive, we just can't do it, can't make it work, and we'll have to start over from, you know, step one, and it'll just be this big rigmarole. | ||
| And then, you know, some dude creates a charity, On Saturday, on Monday, he goes to his buddy John Podesta, says, can I have 25 million bucks? | ||
| And John goes, yeah, sure, here you go. | ||
| And then that money just disappears and he goes away. | ||
| So it seems like a choice to me. | ||
| And it seems like it's very selective when the funds are tied up and, ah, it's just impossible and we'll do our best, but the funds just aren't there. | ||
| And when it's just like, oh, infinite money for whatever you want, go ahead. | ||
| No strings attached. | ||
| Here's a check. | ||
| It's a blank. | ||
| Fill it in yourself. | ||
| Like, it's all arbitrary. | ||
| It's all selective. | ||
| We are capable of spending billions of, I mean, $375 billion slush fund on the EPA. | ||
| Could you name one thing that they've done with it? | ||
| Could you name one positive thing? | ||
| I mean, $375 billion. | ||
| You could buy the rainforest. | ||
| You could literally buy the entire rainforest and go, this is now a nature preserve forever. | ||
| No logging, no oil drilling, no extracting of resources. | ||
| It's ours. | ||
| We'll pay in perpetuity for guards to surround the perimeter, and it's just a natural preserve to continue life on Earth forever. | ||
| $375 billion. | ||
| I just want to keep saying that amount of money because, like, have they saved one butterfly? | ||
| Have they saved one bumblebee? | ||
| Have they preserved one lake or one grasslands? | ||
| Have they done literally anything ever about this? | ||
| Or have they used this money to fund podcasts and propaganda to convince Germany to shut down its coal power plant? | ||
| Like, that's what they're doing with this money. | ||
| So it's just... | ||
| So all of the claims of the government just can't afford it. | ||
| We can't do it. | ||
| They can't fix potholes. | ||
| They still haven't rebuilt the bridge in Baltimore. | ||
| We can't afford schools or healthcare. | ||
| I mean, we can't afford anything. | ||
| But we've got hundreds of billions of dollars to give away to John Podesta's friends. | ||
| And a judge will step in and tell you it's illegal if you try to stop it. | ||
| So it's all a scam. | ||
| This is all a giant scam. | ||
| Even, I mean, Build Back Better. | ||
| I mean, we know about Build Back Better. | ||
| We don't have to go over that because it's relentless. | ||
| But, I mean, it's like these people like Jon Stewart, you have to laugh because either he's genuinely shocked by this Meaning that he's so uninformed that he has no right to talk about politics ever about anything. | ||
| Or he's pretending not to know in some sort of scheme he's pulling, right? | ||
| Where it's like, okay, the country's going MAGA, so we got to pretend to kind of hear their arguments and understand it because otherwise we're just going to get run over. | ||
| It's all just scheming and playing like, Pretending. | ||
| I don't think he's shocked. | ||
| I don't think he's aghast. | ||
| I don't think he doesn't know. | ||
| I think they're aware of this, and they're fine with it, and they're in favor of it. | ||
| Build Back Better itself was only necessary because they destroyed it in the first place, right? | ||
| And Build Back Better was always the intention. | ||
| One thing, if a disaster hits, then you have people going, all right, we got a program. | ||
| We got to build back. | ||
| This was a disaster. | ||
| It was tragic, but, like, can't let it slow us down. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| When we build back, we're not just going back to how we were. | ||
| We're going to do it even better. | ||
| It's one thing if a hurricane hits, a tornado hits, if there's a major disaster. | ||
| But these people go, hey, we want to build back better, but nothing's broken. | ||
| So let's go in and kick everything down. | ||
| Let's bulldoze the area, and then we'll build back better. | ||
| And we'll act like we have to because, well, everything's destroyed. | ||
| Well, you're the ones who destroyed it. | ||
| You're the ones who shut down the economy. | ||
| You're the ones who shut down schools. | ||
| You're the ones who forced masks. | ||
| You're the ones who... | ||
| Impose lockdown. | ||
| Two weeks to slow the spread. | ||
| Knowing full well that it would be extended forever. | ||
| And then you're the ones who came up with Build Back Better because you're constantly deploying this cycle of problem-reaction-solution. | ||
| Everybody knows it. | ||
| And here they are acting like they had no idea. | ||
| Oh my gosh, what? | ||
| It was that bad? | ||
| Yeah, it was that bad. | ||
| It was worse. | ||
| And they can blame red tape or whatever. | ||
| But I would bet... | ||
| My bottom dollar that you tell Elon Musk, hey, we want Starlinks in every rural town. | ||
| You'd have Starlink nodes in every rural town. | ||
| And it would cost a fraction of just the money, the billions that they spent, achieving nothing. | ||
| You could be done. | ||
| You could be done. | ||
| You could have it all purchased, all the documents signed, all the contracts established, high-speed internet everywhere in the country. | ||
| Via satellite, no infrastructure, no laying fiber cables. | ||
| Bare minimum of paying for parts, bulk pricing, massive job creation in America, building the Starlinks, manufacturing plants here. | ||
| Just benefits across the board. | ||
| If they want to do it, they would. | ||
| If they wanted to do that, they absolutely would. | ||
| And it would be done, and everybody would have high-speed internet. | ||
| They're not. | ||
| They don't want to. | ||
| They're not choosing to, because they'd rather do something else. | ||
| They'd rather deal with their imaginary concerns than the real ones. | ||
| And it's all a scam. | ||
| It's only happening because these people aren't American. | ||
| They hate our country. | ||

Interesting, because a lot of your thinking, as expressed by your public statements, is deeply infused with economic and cultural Marxism. | |
| Do you believe that America is addicted to white supremacy? | ||
| I believe that I tweeted that, and as I've said earlier, I believe much of my thinking has evolved over the last half decade. | ||
| It has evolved. | ||
| Why did you tweet that? | ||
| I don't recall the exact context, sir, so I wouldn't be able to say. | ||
| Okay. Do you believe that America believes in black plunder and white democracy? | ||
| I don't believe that, sir. | ||
| You tweeted that in reference to a book you were reading at the time, apparently, The Case for Reparations. | ||
| I don't think I've ever read that book, sir. | ||
| You tweeted about it. | ||
| You said you took a day off to fully read the case for reparations. | ||
| You put that on Twitter in January of 2020. | ||
| Apologies, I don't recall that I did. | ||
| Okay. No doubt that your tweet there is correct, but I don't recall that. | ||
| Okay. Do you believe that white people inherently feel superior to other races? | ||
| I do not. | ||
| You don't? | ||
| You tweeted something to that effect. | ||
| You said, I grew up feeling superior. | ||
| Ha, how white of me. | ||
| Why did you tweet that? | ||
| I think I was probably reflecting on what it was to grow up in an environment where I had lots of advantages. | ||
| It sounds like you're saying that white people feel superior. | ||
| I don't believe that anybody feels that way, sir. | ||
| I was just reflecting on my own experiences. | ||
| Do you think that white people should pay reparations? | ||
| I've never said that, sir. | ||
| Yes, you did. | ||
| You said it in January of 2020. | ||
| You tweeted, yes, the North. | ||
| Yes, all of us. | ||
| Yes, America. | ||
| Yes, our original collective sin and unpaid debt. | ||
| Yes, reparations. | ||
| Yes, on this day. | ||
| I don't believe that was a reference to fiscal reparations, sir. | ||
| What kind of reparations was it a reference to? | ||
| I think it was just a reference to the idea that we all owe much to the people who came before us. | ||
| That's a bizarre way to frame what you tweeted. | ||
| Okay, how much reparations have you personally paid? | ||
| Sir, I don't believe that I've ever paid reparations. | ||
| Okay, just for everybody else. | ||
| I'm not asking anyone to pay reparations. | ||
| Seems to be what you're suggesting. | ||
| Do you believe that looting is morally wrong? | ||
| I believe that looting is illegal, and I refer to it as counterproductive. | ||
| I think it should be prosecuted. | ||
| Do you believe it's morally wrong, though? | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Then why did you refer to it as counterproductive? | ||
| It's a very different way to describe it. | ||
| It is both morally wrong and counterproductive, as well as being illegal. | ||
| You tweeted, it's hard to be mad about protests in reference to the BLM protests not prioritizing the private property of a system of oppression. | ||
| So, I mean, long story short, these people are just liars. | ||
| They're just endless, relentless liars. | ||
| And again, if they really believe the things that they say, they'd be able to... | ||
| Stand up and say, yes, I believe in this. | ||
| But she's just blatantly lying. | ||
| I've never said I support reparations. | ||
| Here's a tweet of you saying I support reparations. | ||
| Like, it's incredible. | ||
| It's not credible. | ||
| It's insane what these people, like, think they can get away with. | ||
| And I read, somebody wrote it and just put it perfectly. | ||
| Mary Catherine Hamm, MK Hammer on X. Catching a liberal white lady tweeting in 2020 that she took a day off work to fully absorb a very important book about reparations and making her admit under oath she probably didn't read it after all is an all-timer of liberal white lady moments. | ||
| I have to take a day off work to fully absorb the racial implications of this powerful book. | ||
| Like, did you read that book? | ||
| She's like, ah, no, no. | ||
| I actually watched TV all day. | ||
| I took a personal day. | ||
| So this stupid lady is a relentless liar, but it makes sense because she doesn't actually believe in the truth. | ||
| You think I'm being hyperbolic? | ||
| No, here she is giving a TED talk about how the truth is not important. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
| One of the most significant differences, critical for moving from polarization to productivity, is that the Wikipedians who write these articles aren't actually focused on finding the truth. | ||
| They're working for something that's a little bit more attainable, which is the best of what we can know. | ||
| Right now. | ||
| And after seven years there, I actually believe that they're onto something. | ||
| That for our most tricky disagreements, seeking the truth and seeking to convince others of the truth isn't necessarily the best place to start. | ||
| In fact, I think our reverence for the truth might have become a bit of a distraction that is preventing us from finding consensus and getting important things done. | ||
| There's the president of NPR saying the truth is a barrier to getting things done. | ||
| The truth is not as important as achieving consensus, that is, manufacturing consent. | ||
| And she's in charge of NPR, the National Public Radio. | ||
| You see the problem that we're in? | ||
| All right, welcome back. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, this is the American Journal. | ||
| I'm your host, Harrison Smith. | ||
| We're joined today by Wid Lyman. | ||
| He is, of course, a Borderhawk News field reporter. | ||
| He's been working in tandem with his brother Dan Lyman to bring exclusive U.S. border and immigration updates to borderhawk.news. | ||
| You can find him on X at wid underscore Lyman and the website, of course, borderhawk.news. | ||
| He's there in D.C. as a White House correspondent bringing us some updates. | ||
| Live from the White House grounds. | ||
| Witt, thank you so much for joining us. | ||
| Great to be back with you, Harrison. | ||
| Welcome back to the White House. | ||
| Well, it looks like a beautiful day there. | ||
| What is the mood around the White House? | ||
| How has it been this week? | ||
| Obviously, the signal gate story has been dominating the headlines, at least in the mainstream media. | ||
| Not as important for those of us who actually are interested in the real world. | ||
| But what is the atmosphere like there at the White House? | ||
| You know, I wanted to bring that up right away because a lot of what we talk about in our media world is going to be, you know, propaganda. | ||
| The left is pushing a certain narrative. | ||
| Other media is pushing a certain narrative. | ||
| And I wanted to give you guys a on-the-ground, firsthand view of watching this happen, right? | ||
| So we talk about it all the time, but here's a great example of what I think that we're talking about. | ||
| So SignalGate breaks, right? | ||
| And then yesterday at the press briefing. | ||
| You know, we're talking to, I'm sorry, the day before yesterday at the press briefing, Caroline Levitt comes up. | ||
| The first 11 questions, 11 of 12 questions from five different people were about Signal. | ||
| And it was different kinds, but it's the same concept. | ||
| So Ms. Levitt answers it once, twice, three times, five times. | ||
| And then she starts saying, I've already answered this. | ||
| What more do you want from me? | ||
| I can't give you any more information. | ||
| And it is a story, by the way, Harrison. | ||
| It really is. | ||
| But is it quite the story that they're making it? | ||
| No. Eleven questions. | ||
| It was a very short press briefing. | ||
| The press secretary was obviously frustrated by it all. | ||
| And this is just a great example of the media creating a narrative, creating media, creating a story. | ||
| This is going to be the topic because we're asking these questions. | ||
| Yeah, that's such a great point. | ||
| Eleven out of the twelve questions. | ||
| Basically being the same and just trying to trick her up into saying something that they can then run as a headline and reinvigorate the news cycle before it dies out. | ||
| And you can't really blame them because it's been, what, 65 days of the Trump administration and this is the first thing that the Democrats have to sink their teeth into. | ||
| It's the first thing they can cling on to and go, ah, a mistake, an actual problem here. | ||
| That's not just, you know. | ||
| Complaining that fentanyl dealers are being deported or getting mad that their ridiculous slush funds are being closed down by Doge. | ||
| It was actually something that they felt like they could get Trump on, so of course they're going to ring it out for all it's worth. | ||
| I mean, is it still going on today? | ||
| I can't imagine that it can really be propped up for that long. | ||
| It seems like most people I'm paying attention to aren't even mentioning it anymore. | ||
| Is it still a major topic there today? | ||
| It is. | ||
| It's being talked about consistently. | ||
| You see news articles this morning and last night. | ||
| And even last night, Harrison, Caitlin Collins from CNN goes and does her show, and she has the Secretary for Veteran Affairs on. | ||
| She asks him three straight questions about Signal and what are his thoughts. | ||
| And he just keeps saying, look, I'm here to talk about the veterans and the veteran affairs. | ||
| I don't know anything about that. | ||
| You can ask me if you want, but I want to talk about veteran affairs. | ||
| They're going to keep pushing this narrative of something horrible happened, something leaked. | ||
| And don't get me wrong, this is definitely a story, especially if someone added this journalist deliberately. | ||
| This is 100% a story, but it's not quite what they're indicating it is. | ||
| And it's a great sign of what the media does. | ||
| They drive a certain story, a certain propaganda. | ||
| I mean, if you switch over, right, if we kind of exit our echo chamber and switch over and see USA Today, Yahoo, CNN, it's just one signal story after another. | ||
| They're just pushing this over and over and over. | ||
| Like you said, it's their first. | ||
| A real teethy story in a while. | ||
| Yeah, and of course, it's absurd when it comes to the scandals of Hillary Clinton and the server scandal of hers. | ||
| I mean, this is not really totally unique. | ||
| It's not like a bombshell story that needs to be talked about for months. | ||
| And they're treating it as if there's some sort of systemic underlying problem that they're having to try to confront and solve, and the Trump administration is trying to ignore it, but it's like... | ||
| No, it was, you know, there's no system that is immune to one of its verified people sending the information out to somebody else, right? | ||
| I mean, that's what happened. | ||
| They admitted it. | ||
| They said, Mike Waltz invited this guy to the chat by accident, and he had access. | ||
| So, like, it doesn't matter. | ||
| I mean, it could have been on paper. | ||
| If you hand a classified paper to a journalist, there's no system that can prevent that. | ||
| So they're really trying to make something out of this when it actually is sort of over with and we're kind of done with it. | ||
| It's not even about the signal story. | ||
| It's about the war in Ukraine, the border problems, the immigration, the economy. | ||
| There's all this other stuff that's not being talked about because they're insisting on trying to make something out of the signal story in order to hurt Trump. | ||
| But I don't think it's being as effective as these types of scandals were the first go-around where they were coming up with some new fabricated scandal multiple times a day. | ||
| And getting Trump to respond to it. | ||
| So I wonder, is there a sense that the Trump administration is more the one setting the news cycle than the first time around? | ||
| Do you feel like that is something that they're focused on doing or just an aspect of, you know, everything else that they're doing is so, you know, newsworthy that it's being covered regardless? | ||
| Do you see what I mean? | ||
| I mean, the first administration every day has seen there was some new scandal they were coming up with. | ||
| It was usually something about Russiagate or something like that. | ||
| But this time, there hasn't been much. | ||
| Signal's the first. | ||
| It must be throwing the Trump administration, sort of a stumble in the Trump administration's so far, really perfect track record when it comes to the media this go-around. | ||
| I think it is deliberate. | ||
| The administration is moving in a very different way than the first time around. | ||
| And I think what you're seeing is just a total deluge of information, executive orders, movements, plans. | ||
| I think what the administration is doing is they're just overwhelming the cycle. | ||
| Like every day you come here and there's a new story, a new statement, something else is happening. | ||
| The vice president is flying to Greenland and we have executive orders yesterday and doing words before that. | ||
| And I think they're just overwhelming the news cycle that if something does happen, like a signal gate issue, they're just going to quash it with so much other information. | ||
| I mean, just the last couple of days, we have 25% on import vehicles and parts, certain kinds of parts. | ||
| We have a Doge interview revealing just... | ||
| Unbelievable amounts of waste. | ||
| You have the NPR story that you guys were covering. | ||
| I mean, that's just in the last two or three days. | ||
| So they're totally overwhelming the cycle. | ||
| And I think part of that is to stave off any kind of scandal that could pop up, whether real or not. | ||
| Well, we've been going over today how basically all of their scandals are fake and non-existent and are used to divert resources and focus away from the real problems. | ||
| And there's a story. | ||
| From Borderhawk that I want to talk to you about. | ||
| I assume you wrote this. | ||
| It's just an absolutely fascinating read. | ||
| Like, I really encourage everybody to go to borderhawk.news and find this story. | ||
| Exclusive, on patrol in a third-world wasteland, just miles from the White House. | ||
| And, you know, when you talk about problems in America, real versus imaginary, I mean, they're up there in Washington, D.C., talking about the most absurd nonsense constantly. | ||
| Fake climate change agenda crap or fake scandals about the Trump administration. | ||
| Meanwhile, the country is crumbling around us and nothing is being done about it. | ||
| Tell us about this story and this ride-along you went on in the state of Washington D.C. and some of the less glitzy areas of the city. | ||
| Tell us about this. | ||
| And this is just a microscopic shot of one small area of one city. | ||
| So you go anywhere else in the whole country, right? | ||
| Miami, New York, Austin, Seattle, you're going to see the same images. | ||
| So we did a ride-along with Metro PD here in one of the wards. | ||
| D.C. has broken down to certain wards. | ||
| We're in the southeast side. | ||
| It's Ward 8. They currently don't have a council member who's being charged with federal bribery. | ||
| And just the stories are endless. | ||
| So much sadness. | ||
| And poverty and hopelessness. | ||
| And again, we're talking about four or five miles from where I am right now. | ||
| Just across the river from, you know, beautiful National Stadium, the wharf, really touristy, nice areas. | ||
| You have the literal third world. | ||
| I mean, I've been to third world cities, and I would have to say that this was on par with some of those awful, awful places. | ||
| Just countless people sleeping in the streets, walking around, sadness everywhere. | ||
| Just, you know, buildings abandoned, rats, constant crime. | ||
| I mean, the crime limits in this area, mainly dominated by Anacostia, a town there, is just shocking. | ||
| I mean, 1 in 10, 1 in 11 chance of being a victim of a crime in that area. | ||
| So we rode around with Metro Police and we encountered people on the sidewalk that had overdosed and, you know, almost died. | ||
| They had multiple arrests, domestic issues, and it was just one unbelievable story after another, just in a four-hour time period. | ||
| And, you know, shockingly enough, the car barely worked. | ||
| You know, the guy's pushing the remote start, and it barely turned on half the time. | ||
| I mean, they don't have resources. | ||
| They don't have help. | ||
| The city is trying useless things, and it's been bad for 50 years now. | ||
| So, again, a microchasm, a micro shot of so many American cities. | ||
| And like you said, like, why is the media obsessing about a signal app that the whole government uses versus you walk, you know, five miles in that direction, and you might not come back? | ||
| Yeah, and there's this acceptance of it or ignoring of it. | ||
| I know Trump has cleared up some of the homeless camps around D.C. As he put it, he's like, it's supposed to be our capital city. | ||
| This is supposed to be a beautiful place. | ||
| I feel it here in Austin, too, where it's like, I don't even want to tell people to come here. | ||
| I'll meet people from Europe or whatever, and they're like, I've always wanted to come to Austin. | ||
| I'm kind of like, well... | ||
| You missed your chance because it sucks now. | ||
| It's dirty. | ||
| It's filthy. | ||
| There's nothing to be proud of. | ||
| I feel embarrassed. | ||
| Like, my family comes and visits and they literally get attacked by homeless people and, like, almost hit by a car because they're having to run away from some crackhead. | ||
| And it's like, I feel responsible. | ||
| I feel like, you know, it's my city. | ||
| And I'm like, I'm sorry. | ||
| I'm sorry that we're like this. | ||
| You're a capital city in the greatest country in the history of the world. | ||
| And there's just... | ||
| I mean, you go just a mile or two up the road, it's Baltimore, it's even worse. | ||
| It's like, how are we supposed to be proud of our country when our capital city is just covered in filth and grime and crime and misery? | ||
| And look, sure, it's for aesthetics, I guess, but there's something to that. | ||
| People want to live in a place that they can be proud of. | ||
| There's the broken window effect, where if an abandoned building has a broken window, You know, it's a cascading effect where people just subconsciously go, well, I guess I don't have to care about this area anymore. | ||
| They'll throw trash in the ground and it just creates this snowball effect. | ||
| So Trump, I know, has suggested getting back to the original intention of Washington, D.C., that it wouldn't be incorporated as a city independently. | ||
| It would be managed by Congress and it would be a federal city whose existence was there for the federal government. | ||
| And it was never supposed to be a city like another city in America. | ||
| Trump wants to move in that direction. | ||
| I mean, what do you think about that suggestion? | ||
| Do you think that's the answer to some of the problems, intractable problems, D.C. is dealing with? | ||
| Well, the administration thinks that that's the solution because yesterday he signed an executive order and he's calling it Make Washington the Greatest Capital City. | ||
| And it has a whole-of-government approach. | ||
| You have people from departments across the board, DOD, HSI. | ||
| You have agriculture. | ||
| Borders, land, immigration, roads. | ||
| And he's going to sign this and he really wants to make this place a better place because it really is a cool city. | ||
| I mean, you walk around and there's beautiful buildings. | ||
| There's amazing history here. | ||
| The monument is just in the backdrop at all times. | ||
| The Capitol building is gorgeous. | ||
| And I think they're going to try to do that. | ||
| But there are so many issues. | ||
| I mean, even talking about... | ||
| Like the metro system, like the public transportation system. | ||
| I talked to other reporters here, and they're not always safe, not always happy riding the metro. | ||
| Imagine tourists traveling to the area. | ||
| We've covered Union Station issues, overdoses, robberies, crimes, murders even. | ||
| And I think the government does see that. | ||
| The administration does see that. | ||
| And they're saying, hey, we have to make this a better place. | ||
| this is the nation's capital in the greatest place on earth to ever exist. | ||
| And I think they want to make it better. | ||
| So I think the administration agrees with you. | ||
| Let's push the resources of Yeah, and you got to do something because you're right. | ||
| I mean, you know, tourists come and visit. | ||
| And it's weird. | ||
| I mean, D.C. is a weird place because, as you point out, I mean, it is the most... | ||
| I think it's the most beautiful city in America, maybe second only to like New Orleans or something, the Garden District. | ||
| But I mean, the stone buildings, it's epic, it's monumental, it's incredible. | ||
| But then there's just, it's like you got to go pocket. | ||
| It's like little bubbles that are nice and brilliant and amazing and fancy. | ||
| Then just outside the bubble, it's misery and chaos and filth and smell of weed is wafting everywhere. | ||
| And it's like you can kind of travel from bubble to bubble, but it's not a safe place. | ||
| At the end of the day, it's not a capital city that we want tourists going to and coming away with that as their impression of the best America can be. | ||
| And so again, this story, I assume you wrote this, it's just, I love the way it's written because it's not a strict news story. | ||
| It's almost like gonzo journalism reporting where you're just describing... | ||
| And you really get a sense as you read it of just like what it feels like to be there and the misery and the almost oppressive collapse all around you. | ||
| I mean, what was your experience doing this? | ||
| Were there any times during this ride-along that you really felt unsafe or saw something that you thought, okay, well, this makes it a little bit better? | ||
| I mean, what was your takeaway after doing this ride-along through some of the worst parts of D.C.? | ||
| At no point did I feel safe from driving into the area to leaving. | ||
| At no point did it feel comfortable or safe. | ||
| And I actually had to return to take photos for the story. | ||
| And I felt even more unsafe. | ||
| And I went during the day. | ||
| Again, just an oppressive feeling of just sadness and hopelessness. | ||
| You know, we drove by one of the voucher housing, so public assistance housing. | ||
| And there were 15 or 20 men in the entrance, in the doorway, hallway. | ||
| Just all, you know, in some stage of probably, you know, post-drug or drug usage, you know, trash and filth everywhere. | ||
| And you just see it, and you just think, why? | ||
| Why does this exist in this country? | ||
| Because, again, I go to some, you know, sad border towns in, say, Mexico, and, you know, it kind of makes a little more sense. | ||
| Maybe still sad, still difficult, but not here. | ||
| It's really not here in the district. | ||
| And then just riding around, I mean... | ||
| We pulled into one other voucher housing and the police officer, oh, last time I was here, they shot at the car. | ||
| Oh, great. | ||
| This is going to be an awesome time. | ||
| Or we go to an apartment complex and he says, yeah, they shoot through the floor sometimes into the other apartments. | ||
| And you can't live like that, Harrison. | ||
| Nobody can function in a society. | ||
| You can't walk to work, drive to work, sitting in your apartment wondering if you're going to get shot. | ||
| That's not a way to function in today's society. | ||
| So, no, at no point did I feel safe. | ||
| You know, I certainly feel sadness and hopelessness for those people, and I hope that somehow somebody can figure it out for them. | ||
| But, yeah, I just, I mean, some of the images that you guys were showing about Austin there, I mean, that looked pretty similar, to be honest. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Well, as you point out, you've been to these, like, you know, think of a Mexican border town. | ||
| It's like, I don't know, you might even be safer there than some of the neighborhoods in D.C. And the fact that people are shooting at cop cars when they're just driving by, I mean, that represents... | ||
| A level of lawlessness and a level of just, you know, uncaring violence. | ||
| I mean, it's one thing to, like, you know, put your freedom at risk because you think you can, you know, rob a place and you're going to make $10,000 and so the risk is worth it. | ||
| But these are people doing things that would, you know, get you thrown in jail for life and they're just doing it because it's fun and, you know, they got nothing better to do and there's no risk of actually being caught. | ||
| So it just represents a level of lawlessness that... | ||
| It's truly shocking. | ||
| And again, the stats from your reporting. | ||
| According to a 2013 study conducted by U.S. News& World Report, 89% of the students in Anacostia High School were considered economically disadvantaged. | ||
| 86% received free lunches. | ||
| Just 17% rated proficient in reading. | ||
| 12% proficient in math. | ||
| And almost half of all students function below skill levels in these subjects. | ||
| Only 6.9%, less than 7%, of students tested as ready. | ||
| So, I mean, this isn't going to end, right? | ||
| This is an intergenerational problem, and we already know that the next generation coming up are not being given the skills they need or the hope in the future that they need to actually make a difference. | ||
| And so it just seems like we're in this downward spiral. | ||
| Something has to happen, and hopefully this initiative by Donald Trump will do something. | ||
| The quote from him is, quote, we will take over our horribly run Washington, D.C. and clean it up, renovate, and build our capital that is no longer a nightmare of murder and crime. | ||
| So hopefully he can do it, but something's got to be done, man. | ||
| It's absolutely horrifying. | ||
| And this story from BorderHawk.News, on patrol in Third World Wasteland, just miles from the White House, really does a great job of laying out the feeling and the hopelessness. | ||
| Because I've been to some of those neighborhoods, and it's hard to express. | ||
| Just what it's like to people who haven't been there before. | ||
| Yeah, just the decay. | ||
| I mean, you mentioned the statistic about students not being prepared for the next level of education or being prepared at all for where they're at. | ||
| I mean, that's 12 years ago. | ||
| You're looking at decades and decades of decay and sadness and hopelessness. | ||
| I mean, they have endless issues with juveniles that are stealing cars, robbing people, the Uber delivery drivers, the Uber and Lyft. | ||
| Whoever does the drug, the young people have food delivered to their house. | ||
| I forgot what it's called. | ||
| Yeah. But like Uber and Lyft and all that, Uber Eats, and they get robbed. | ||
| Their cars get stolen. | ||
| Their products get stolen. | ||
| They don't want to go there. | ||
| I mean, D.C. last year had around 1,000 carjacks. | ||
| I mean, just alone. | ||
| That's untenable. | ||
| You don't want to park. | ||
| Another good example is there's a nice steakhouse, actually, in Anacostia. | ||
| They just opened it. | ||
| And the cop told me, who wants to go to this steakhouse when you might get robbed on the way in, robbed on the way out, and your car might not be there when you get back? | ||
| So again, totally untenable, decades and decades of issues, and you do hope that something happens. | ||
| I mean, small changes would make lasting impacts, so I really hope they do something going forwards. | ||
| Yeah, and you know, the sort of saddest part to me, because I'm thinking of a neighborhood in Baltimore that we were filming in probably 10 years ago, It was row upon row upon row of houses that were nice houses. | ||
| I mean, they must have been built 50, 100 years ago. | ||
| So they were built well, you know, brick with nice stoops. | ||
| And they're just empty. | ||
| All the windows are broken. | ||
| All the doors have been kicked in. | ||
| And it's just, it's like a ghost town. | ||
| But it's 30 minutes from the capital city. | ||
| And you can picture this neighborhood when it was first built. | ||
| You can picture the hope. | ||
| You can picture like these stoops with kids running around and playing hopscotch on the sidewalk. | ||
| And you can picture families, but it's just this empty, dead industrial wasteland rotting and rusting away there in our capital city. | ||
| And it really is emblematic of America as a whole. | ||
| Great, great opportunity, great potential originally, but it's just been totally wasted and allowed to decay and be destroyed. | ||
| I think it's very, very important reporting and... | ||
| If nothing else, it acts as almost like a barometer of how America is doing. | ||
| If we can't keep the crime under control in our capital city, no wonder things are falling apart. | ||
| Baltimore is a great example, actually. | ||
| They call it Baltimore, by the way. | ||
| There's a D in there somewhere. | ||
| It's a great example because where was the Star-Spangled Banner written? | ||
| Why was it written? | ||
| It's there. | ||
| There's a beautiful fort right down along the Inner Harbor. | ||
| And just unbelievable history. | ||
| And again, very similar to D.C. You know, still a wasteland in so many ways, like you're saying. | ||
| And again, Baltimore is what they call it. | ||
| Well, all I know is if they want my advice, they need to fix their highway system. | ||
| Driving around in D.C., I would miss an exit and I'd end up in Baltimore. | ||
| I'm trying to go to the White House and I end up by the inner harbor in Baltimore and I'm just like, this is terrible. | ||
| There's a lot of problems with D.C., but... | ||
| But it has so much potential, and it's such a beautiful city, and it should be the crown jewel of American greatness, and hopefully Trump can get it back there. | ||
| Wid, thank you so much for your reporting. | ||
| Keep up the great work, and we'll talk to you again soon, sir. | ||
| Appreciate the time. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| God bless. | ||
| Pleasure is all mine. | ||
| Again, I just want to encourage people to go to borderhawk.news, not to support the incredible reporting that Wid and Dan and so many others are contributing. | ||
| But it's great because, you know, they could have sort of gone the, you know, the way of the FBI with the shutting down of the actual border traffic and they sort of stole stole the source of Borderhawks news gathering so Like so many of us, Borderhawk has had to change and evolve with the changing situation, and now they're covering the chaos here at home rather than on the border, but still just doing incredible work. | ||
| And it's an incredibly written article, I just have to say. | ||
| Please go find and share at borderhawk.news on patrol in a third-world wasteland just miles from the White House. | ||
| We'll be right back with our final segment of American Journal. | ||
| Go to thealexjonesstore.com to support everything that we do here. | ||

|
We still have a lot to cover in this final segment of the American Journal. | |
| More videos to show you as well. | ||
| And this next story, I think, relates to everything else we've been talking about. | ||
| That is, the EPA has a $375 billion slush fund. | ||
| That's the Environmental Protection Agency. | ||
| They're protecting the environment as per its name. | ||
| But it's not doing that, is it? | ||
| In fact, our environment is being increasingly destroyed by a variety of destructive interventions from industries and governments and private corporations. | ||
| And the EPA is spending hundreds of billions of dollars providing for the shutdown of coal power plants, as if that's the problem. | ||
| You always have this dual issue with corruption in that not only is money being stolen and put towards projects that don't actually matter, but the real problems that do actually exist go unconfronted or are only made worse. | ||
| So I think if I was in charge of the EPA, I think I would try to focus on the Things that we know are actively destroying nature wholesale. | ||
| Be things like atrazine and pesticides that are, as we know, not just killing off creatures by the millions, but also, you know, warping them, mutating them. | ||
| Kind of like, you know, like the three-eyed fish in The Simpsons. | ||
| Creatures that are just broken. | ||
| They're just not fit for survival. | ||
| Gay frogs being among them, hermaphroditic fish being another, are just creatures that are warped beyond repair by the horrifying chemicals that we spray on crops. | ||
| And it's leading to what could potentially be an existential... | ||
| Problem for humanity itself. | ||
| From The Guardian, U.S. honeybee death hits record high as scientists scramble to find the main cause. | ||
| Oh, they're scrambling. | ||
| They just don't know. | ||
| Well, what could it possibly be? | ||
| It's the pesticides. | ||
| It's 100% the pesticides. | ||
| There's no question. | ||
| There's no debate. | ||
| I mean, there's a bunch of other problems too. | ||
| You've got, you know, the proliferation of electromagnetic frequencies everywhere with the 5G. | ||
| And the satellites bathing the earth in Wi-Fi. | ||
| And I've noticed, I don't think it's just me. | ||
| It could just be me. | ||
| Maybe I should ask somebody before I announce this like it's true, but like, anybody else knows the bugs are getting more high-pitched? | ||
| Like, I don't remember growing up there being cicadas and crickets that were so loud and high-pitched. | ||
| That, like, it hurts. | ||
| But I feel like I experience that all the time now. | ||
| And I'm sure there's lots of reasons to this. | ||
| Just sound pollution in general, you know, high-pitched noises are necessary to, like, pierce through noise. | ||
| So, you know, it could just be an evolutionary adaption to the fact that now our environments are just saturated with continual noise of highways and all sorts of things. | ||
| Yeah, like, it hurts. | ||
| It, like, gets so loud. | ||
| It's like when it stops, you're like, oh my god. | ||
| You don't really realize at first, and then it stops, and you're like, whoa, that was painful, actually. | ||
| I didn't realize, but that hurt, and then it rises up again, and you're just like, oh man. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Maybe that's just me. | ||
| Maybe I'm just getting old or something, but I don't remember that when I was a kid. | ||
| I don't remember actually bugs being so loud and high-pitched that it was painful to hear in your backyard, but that's how it is now. | ||
| The U.S. Department of Agriculture calls in university to help study decline as Trump administration staff cuts sting. | ||
| Honeybee deaths have hit record highs in the U.S. with an unprecedented loss of colonies, pushing many beekeepers close to ruin as scientists scramble to identify the main cause of the huge declines. | ||
| Commercial beekeepers have reported losing more than 60% of their colonies on average over the winter, according to an ongoing project. | ||
| This enormous rate of decline is higher than record reductions seen last year and is on track to be the biggest loss of honeybee colonies in U.S. history, according to Scott McArt, an associate professor of entomology at Cornell University. | ||
| McArt said the extraordinary rate of loss became apparent during this winter's mass movement of honeybee hives to California to pollinate the vast almond crop there. | ||
| Honeybees, although introduced to the U.S., have become vital to the agricultural system by pollinating half of all crops, including apples, berries, pumpkins, melons, and cherries. | ||
| Beekeepers are increasingly struggling to maintain bee numbers necessary to undertake this work. | ||
| Hundreds of nominations for... | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| Something really bad is going on this year, said McArt. | ||
| We've been seeing high losses year after year, but if anything, it's getting worse, which is troubling. | ||
| Some places are having devastating losses, and there was a shortfall in pollination, and some... | ||
| Almond orchards this year. | ||
| Whether these impacts will cascade to other crops remain to be seen. | ||
| It's certainly possible. | ||
| And yeah, so these beekeepers are struggling to just keep their hives alive and have enough bees to actually pollinate the crops that are reliant on them. | ||
| And they're acting like they don't know. | ||
| They're acting like they're not sure what this is. | ||
| They're only reporting this, by the way. | ||
| Because they think they can blame it on EPA cuts that Trump is doing. | ||
| So they're only even reporting this because they think they can politically attack Trump through it. | ||
| But obviously the problem isn't with Trump. | ||
| If this is a year-over-year issue that's gotten worse and worse and worse and the EPA has had hundreds of billions of dollars at its disposal and it's done absolutely nothing to identify the problem, let alone address it, let alone... | ||
| You know, pilot programs that would help to overcome the collapse of the honeybee population regardless of its cause, right? | ||
| You could do that. | ||
| You don't actually have to know what's causing the honeybee decline to counteract it, just like you don't need to know the cause of a fire to spray water on it, right? | ||
| You don't have to know what's causing the honeybee decline to, like, put money towards programs to increase their population, to subsidize the workers that are doing this. | ||
| It could be done. | ||
| We've got hundreds of billions of dollars to do it. | ||
| Instead, they're funding podcasts about how cow farts are melting the ice caps. | ||
| It's absurd, but that's where we're choosing to put our resources, which is why all the bees are dying. | ||
| Scientists have ascertained that... | ||
| Now, if you had to guess, if you had to guess what this leftist mainstream media article is blaming on the bee decline, or blaming the bee decline on, what would you guess it is? | ||
| If you had a million guesses, could you ever come up with a conclusion? | ||
| In fact, I guess a better question would be, do you need more than one guess? | ||
| You get one guess, and I'll give you a hint, it's not racism. | ||
| So what else could it be? | ||
| What else is constantly promoted as the sole source and font of every problem in the world if we just would put more money towards, yeah, it's climate change. | ||
| It's climate change. | ||
| No, they're blaming it on climate change because, of course, they are. | ||
| Scientists have ascertained that the climate crisis, habitat loss, and pesticide use have badly affected all bees, the vast majority in the U.S. being 4,000 native wild species rather than honeybees. | ||
| For managed honeybees, a lack of nutrition, poor handling practices, and rampant infestation by varroa mites, a type of parasite and disease, have also taken their toll. | ||
| You also have the movement of Africanized Killer bees, that's also a problem. | ||
| I don't know if they get into that in this article. | ||
| But I mean, they act like they don't know what this is. | ||
| They act like they're not sure what's causing this. | ||
| They want to pretend it's climate change. | ||
| They want to pretend it's all this other stuff. | ||
| It's not complicated. | ||
| It's pesticides. | ||
| It's pesticides. | ||
| It's neonicotinoids is what they're called. | ||
| And they're used in America. | ||
| They aren't really used anywhere else. | ||
| We spray them, in some cases by plane, just blanketing an entire area with these poisons, and they kill all the insects. | ||
| It's not that complicated. | ||
| It's pretty simple, actually. | ||
| Gee, what could be killing all of the bees? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Maybe it's the bee poison we spray on everything. | ||
| It could be that. | ||
| It could be the widespread industrial use of bee poison being sprayed on the plants they use for food. | ||
| It could be that. | ||
| I'm no scientist. | ||
| I'm no Guardian article writer, but if I had to guess about what's killing all the bees, I would think it's the stuff that kills bees. | ||
| I would think it's the bee poison, probably. | ||
| And everybody knows this, and it's almost comical that the Guardian would pretend they don't. | ||
| This was posted by, who was this? | ||
| Concerned citizen on X at Bee Gates is a Psycho. | ||
| And he says it, right? | ||
| The Guardian knows they just can't tell you. | ||
| And then every single comment is just like, yeah, it's pesticides. | ||
| We've been brainwashed to spray dandelions with toxic cancer-causing pesticides when dandelions are one of the first foods for bees coming out of winter. | ||
| Don't spray your dandelions. | ||
| That's just one of many reasons. | ||
| Disrespected trucker, between cell phone towers and the crap they're spraying in the skies, it's killing our bees. | ||
| Without bees, we're doomed. | ||
| It seems the dreadful Monsanto Act is a huge problem still in effect today. | ||
| The EPA and USDA need to make some massive changes and dissolve that act that none other than Obama made into law. | ||
| And this is in 2024, President Obama signed the now infamous Monsanto Protection Act written by Monsanto lobbyists, which gives biotech companies immunity in federal U.S. courts from damages to people and the environment caused by their chemical compounds. | ||
| So, I mean, you know, it's like, gee, what could be behind it? | ||
| Well, in 2014, they passed a law providing immunity to the companies for doing exactly this. | ||
| So maybe it's that. | ||
| Maybe it's all of the poison. | ||
| Totally crazy. | ||
| Pesticides are what's killing bees. | ||
| The government acknowledges it. | ||
| Despite being banned from general use in the UK, the last government authorized the use of neonicotinoids every year for the last four years in England via a process known as emergency authorization. | ||
| Neonicotinoids are extremely toxic to pollinators. | ||
| Even at doses that are not directly fatal to bees, they can cause cognitive problems impacting foraging abilities and the productivity of hives. | ||
| The chemicals also can persist in the soil, creating a further risk to bees. | ||
| This is from back in December of 2024. | ||
| Complete ban on bee-killing pesticides moves forward in the UK. | ||
| And Europe, despite all of their flaws, despite their willful collapse of their industrial base and all the other problems that they're creating for themselves, they do tend to have better environmental policies. | ||
| I will give them that. | ||
| You are able to actually buy baby formula from Europe that is made with cow's milk rather than soybean. | ||
| You know, they've got some, it's like California, right? | ||
| California, total nonsense, collapsing into chaos and misery, but California is the only state out there where you can demand that your DNA be recalled by, from 23andMe. | ||
| They actually have the highest standards in the country in terms of, you know, food production. | ||
| It makes things more expensive, but they have the industry to back it up. | ||
| So, like, there are certain things that... | ||
| Again, I think there's been a trick by the powers that be to divide people into camps, and they've sort of branded it as, like, if you care about the environment, you're a lefty libtard, and then they co-opt that and incorporate all environmental concern into the climate change agenda and drives conservatives away, and it's just, you know, they have this mindset of, like, you're a conservative. | ||
| You're supposed to hate tree-hugging hippies that care about things like bugs and fish, and it's like, well... | ||
| I'm a conservative and I also appreciate the incredible planet God gave us and I don't want to see it all stripped bare and destroyed for the stock price of Monsanto to go up. | ||
| Not conservative in my book. | ||
| So we've got to get over the psyop of allowing the left to have control of all environmental concern because it turns out when that's the case, all of the money gets stolen and wasted and spent on programs that are clearly designed to Destroy your freedom of movement and basic civil liberties under the name of climate change and environmentalism while simultaneously writing laws to allow Monsanto to poison all of the honeybees. | ||
| So we need to stop letting the left have some of these policies, some of these concerns. | ||
| We have to take them over and actually do things to actually solve the problem because when you surrender that ground and you just go, oh, environmentalism, that's a lefty thing, then you get... | ||
| $375 billion going towards podcasts and PBS drag shows, and nothing environmental actually gets done ever. | ||
| So we need to solve that and actually find a solution to some of these things. | ||
| And again, if you want to know what the actual cause of this stuff, it's neonicotinoid pesticides. | ||
| That's the number one danger to bees, and it's the number one. | ||
| And again, in that... | ||
| I didn't find it, but in the thread, you know, it's people going, yeah, my neighbors grow crops and they spray this pesticide from a plane. | ||
| I mean, they blanket the entire area in this stuff. | ||
| And it's not just bees. | ||
| Bees are like the most important because they actually pollinate things and plants will die without that act of pollination. | ||
| Which, by the way, on a side note, is total proof of God because it's impossible for a plant and an animal to evolve simultaneously with, you know, needing each other, right? | ||
| It's just... | ||
| Did the plants have pollen and then the bees adapted to the pollen? | ||
| Because if you don't have bees, then the pollen doesn't make any sense. | ||
| But did the bees evolve to have pollen before the pollen evolved? | ||
| Because that makes even less sense. | ||
| You've got plants evolving with pollen, bees evolving to spread that pollen and survive off the pollen, both these things. | ||
| Neonicotinoid pesticides, the facts. | ||
| The use of neonicotinoid pesticides has been a contentious issue in recent years. | ||
| They account for around 25% of the global agrochemical market, but have also been linked to negative environmental effects. | ||
| The graphic looks at how they work, the nature of concerns surrounding them. | ||
| They can be added to irrigation water, then taken up and spread through plant tissue. | ||
| They also are used in seed treatments. | ||
| They bind to nicotinic receptors. | ||
| Basically, there's the nicotine receptors in your brain. | ||
| For the neurotransmitters inside the insect's central nervous system, this leads to overstimulation and blocking of the receptors, leading to paralysis and eventual death. | ||
| Neonicotinoid pesticides are effective against a wide range of crop pests. | ||
| They are most widely used insecticides in the world, accounting for roughly 25% of all insecticide use. | ||
| Most... Mostly used in America. | ||
| America uses the most of them, and places like Europe actually ban these usage, even though they can do workarounds like we just explained. | ||
| 1980s is the decade in which neonicotinoid pesticides first developed. | ||
| 120 countries use these pesticides, and they're now used more than any other class of pesticide. | ||
| It's one of those things where, unless I'm wrong, correct me if I'm wrong, But I'm pretty sure there were crops before the 80s, weren't there? | ||
| I mean, maybe I'm crazy here, but I'm pretty sure the development of agriculture predates Miami Vice, right? | ||
| I mean, I'm not wrong here, am I? | ||
| That for thousands upon thousands of years, humans grew crops in abundance without the use of... | ||
| You know, chemicals that destroy the brains of insects and paralyzes them. | ||
| No, you're wrong. | ||
|

|
The proliferation of corn didn't happen until Magnum P.I. premiered. | |
| Until Magnum P.I. premiered. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| No, I remember the announcement of crop rotation as a technological development during the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. | ||
| Remember that? | ||
| It was a crazy time. | ||
| They were coming out. | ||
| I mean, the first PCs were being built, Macintosh was being created, and they were learning to plant seeds in the ground and grow them for food. | ||
| It was really a lot of developments in the 1980s, right? | ||
| Obviously, the point I'm making here is that it's actually possible to do this without poison. | ||
| It's possible. | ||
| It is actually possible. | ||
| And now it's like beyond possible. | ||
| What a great challenge would it be? | ||
| To design a drone with a little laser on it that could fly around and, you know, identify and eliminate the pest bugs. | ||
| Because that's what's happening here is you have bugs that destroy the crops and then you have bees that are necessary for the crops to grow. | ||
| But they're just spraying poison and killing everything. | ||
| But like, and we've seen videos, we've had videos on this show of, you know, machines slowly scanning crops and lasers, you know. | ||
| Identifying and eliminating mites and caterpillars and things that destroy them. | ||
| It is possible to do even more so now than ever before with the technology that we have. | ||
| But these things have only been around for 40 years. | ||
| These poisons have only been around since the 1980s. | ||
| So it's not like we have to use these poisons. | ||
| We're choosing to use poisons that turn frogs gay and kill all the bees. | ||
| So why? | ||
| Why is that the choice we're making? | ||
| It's a little bit cheaper? | ||
| Okay, maybe. | ||
| Is it though? | ||
| Really? Because at the end of the day, your price you're paying is the existence of bees. | ||
| So I think that's a cost a little bit greater than whatever dollars that you're saving in this ridiculous solution to a very minor and manageable problem, in my opinion. | ||
| Just crazy. | ||
| It really is. | ||
| Oh, you know what? | ||
| On that note, let's go to clip number eight here. | ||
| This is Jimmy Fallon talking to Bill Gates. | ||
| Now, I don't know if you've noticed, Bill Gates doesn't make a lot of public appearances anymore. | ||
| There was a time at the beginning of COVID where they were trotting out Bill Gates on a daily basis. | ||
| They really genuinely thought that by this point in 2025, Bill Gates would be like a beloved hero. | ||
| And this, like, major celebrity philanthropist that everybody was like, wow, where would we be without Bill Gates? | ||
| Gee, we would all be dead if not for Bill Gates' heroic vaccine programs. | ||
| It didn't work so well, actually. | ||
| And I'm going to give credit almost entirely to Alex Jones on that. | ||
| And you remember, like, Alex Jones has hated Bill Gates for decades. | ||
| People didn't get it for a while. | ||
| There was a long time where it was people like, why does he hate Bill Gates? | ||
| Like the dude in the sweater that's like trying to get rid of mosquitoes? | ||
| Like what's wrong with, why does Alex Jones hate this guy? | ||
| And it's like, well, it's because you can see what's underlying his programs. | ||
| You can see the manipulation that was being designed to try to prop up Bill Gates as some sort of hero. | ||
| And then you listen to Bill Gates and you're like, this guy hates humanity. | ||
| And wants us all dead. | ||
| So we're very much on the forefront of the hating Bill Gates trend, so I want to pat ourselves on the back for that, but eventually everybody got it. | ||
| Eventually everybody was exposed to who this guy really was, and he sort of went away. | ||
| He sort of isn't quite as public anymore. | ||
| And places that used to brag about being associated with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, they'll sort of mention it now, but it's not exactly the big selling point it once was, because he's been exposed. | ||
| Because of us, because we're here to tell you the reality of who these people are and what really motivates them. | ||
| Here's him on Jimmy Fallon in one of his rare, you know, modern public appearances. | ||
| And it didn't go well. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
| The era that we're just starting is that intelligence is rare. | ||
| You know, a great doctor, a great teacher. | ||
| And with AI, over the next decade, that will become... | ||
| Free, commonplace. | ||
| You know, great medical advice, great tutoring. | ||
| And it's kind of profound because it solves all these specific problems. | ||
| Like, we don't have enough doctors or, you know, mental health professionals. | ||
| But it brings with it kind of so much change. | ||
| You know, what will jobs be like? | ||
| Should we, you know, just work like two or three days a week? | ||
| So I love the way it'll drive the innovation forward, but I think, you know, it's a little bit unknown. | ||
| He's doing a weird hand thing. | ||
| Will we be able to shape it? | ||
| And so legitimately, people are like, wow, this is a bit scary. | ||
| It's completely new territory. | ||
|

|
I mean, will we still need humans? | |
| Not for most things. | ||
| You know, we'll decide. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, hosting a talk show, definitely. | |
| Really? Well... | ||
| We'll decide, you know, like baseball. | ||
| We won't want to watch computers play baseball. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's right. | |
| Yeah. And, you know, so there'll be some things that we reserve for ourselves. | ||
| But in terms of making things and moving things and growing food, over time, those will be basically solved problems. | ||
| Post-human future, folks. | ||
| Post-human future is the thing you need to understand. | ||
| And it's like... | ||
| You can tell, you know, he doesn't like being asked that question. | ||
| He doesn't like being asked that question. | ||
| He's like, oh, you know, AI, it's got all these advancements, all this incredible potential, but things are going to change and people aren't going to be happy about that. | ||
| He's not really mad that, you know, things are going to change, people's lives are going to be upset. | ||
| He's mad that people are going to be mad about that. | ||
| He's like, how do we deal with people responding negatively when we tell them they're obsolete and they need to go away forever? | ||
| He's going to do that regardless. | ||
| He's just concerned at how humans are going to react. | ||
| Now, see what he's doing with his fingers? | ||
| It's weird, man. | ||
| He's a weird dude. | ||
| He's a weird dude, and he's the best salesman they have for the anti-human future. | ||
| He put on a slightly, slightly darker green pink sweater. | ||
| Slightly darker pink sweater today to show he's serious. | ||
| That's his serious sweater. | ||
| Again, this is, I mean, it's literally psychological operations where they go. | ||
| If you dress in a pink sweater, people think you're soft and cuddly. | ||
| He'd be wearing a space suit if they said that made him look trustworthy. | ||
| It's all a scam. | ||
| It's all... | ||
| A trick, but you can tell he doesn't like being asked. | ||
| The guy's like, so are humans not going to be needed? | ||
| He's like, well, not really. | ||
|

|
No, you sort of cut to the end of my little presentation here. | |
| I was supposed to ease people into that idea, convince them, but now that you mention it, yeah, we are going to get rid of all the humans. | ||
| Yeah, because humans are unpredictable. | ||
| Human free will is not something you can control like a computer chip, and Bill Gates only understands computer chips. | ||

While other networks lie to you about what's happening now, InfoWars tells you the truth about what's happening next. | |

| Here's where all eyes now are on gold and silver. | ||
| Because gold went over $3,000 an ounce, it's at an all-time high. | ||
| That's a very strong technical and psychological threshold number, that $3,000. | ||
| So now that the world is looking at gold, the world is also going to be looking at silver. | ||
| So even the massive growth that we've already seen, I'm guessing it's just the beginning. | ||
| Gut level, where do you think gold is in a month? | ||
| 3,100 in a month, like in the next three to four weeks. | ||
| And then I think it gets to 3,200 by the beginning of the summer. | ||
| And we could literally see 4,000 as momentum starts to gather and as the eyes of the world get on it. | ||
| And then silver. | ||
| You know, probably 50 to 75. People need to call you. | ||
